Higher reliability and power efficiency achieved with low-demanding cooling make single emitter diodes a more
effective pump source than monolithic laser diode arrays. Continuously improving performance and increasing
brightness of single emitter pumps are accompanied with a steady reduction of cost of pumping (dollar-per-watt).
Performance advantages do not compromise reliability of the pumps. These features ensure that single emitter diodes are
the most effective solution even for multi-kWatt systems pumping. Here we report on a recent progress in single-mode
and multi-mode edge-emitting diodes.
