Abstract
The European Union programs of cooperative research and development in telecommunications aim to ensure the realization of the future Inform ation Society. The RACE Program (1988 to 1995) made an important contr ibution to the development oi advanced optical communications. The cur rent ACTS Program has an increased focus on field trials and networkin g. ACTS projects in the field of optical networks are studying multiwa velength network concepts, customer access, high-speed multiplexing an d transport, and components and subsystems.
