A number of research issues are considered in the study of a European multiwavelength optical network. The main part of the study is the design of an all-optical network to overlay the European national networks and link major centers therein. We survey most of the issues considered in this respect within the frame of two projects funded by the European Commission. Another part of the study focuses on the underlying European national networks and their possible development to interface with the proposed overlay. The main aim of this paper is to put together these two parts and oversee the prospect of a European ultra-high capacity multiwavelength optical infrastructure.
