Title
Europeanist -programme roadmap for optical communications generated by theoptimist thematic network
Abstract
On the basis of Europeanist project results in the field of photonics, theoptimist thematic network has produced a roadmap for optical communications. This work is described in the present article which provides scenarios for the evolution of the optical network in the coming 10 years. Predictable developments in optical components, sub-systems and systems and their consequences on the architecture and performances of the networks are analysed. Specific interest is focused on the various parts of the network structure namely the access, the metropolitan area, the wide area and the global networks. Technical documents elaborated by theoptimist consortium and minutes fromist workshops can be found on the website http://www.ist-optimist.org/.[1]. They constitute a main source for further information.
