Anticipated performance of possible InP-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) for the third generation 1.55-um optical-fibre communication has been simulated with the aid of the comprehensive optical-electrical-thermal-gain self-consistent model. While the room-temperature (RT) pulse operation of the above VCSELs has been found to be reached without serious difficulties, their efficient RT continuous-wave operation does not seem to be possible because of inherently insufficient physical properties of the AIIIP phosphides. Therefore, as the final conclusion of this paper, we have to stress that, taking into consideration currently available technology, InP-based VCSELs cannot be recommended as laser sources for future long-wavelength optical-fibre communication systems.
