In the first window of optical fibre communication, light sources such as GaAlAs (Gallium Aluminium Arsenide) are commonly used. GaAlAs is a semiconductor material that emits light in the near-infrared region, which is ideal for transmission in the first window of optical fibre, typically around 850 nm.
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{(3) GaAlAs}}
\]
