In this issue, we have some neat articles relating to all optical networks as well as some of the latest on MEMS technologies. Further along the lines of super high bandwidth optical networking systems, SPIE is launching Optical Networks Magazine in 2000, published in conjunction with Baltzer Science Publishers. The magazine is also a reflection of the need for information about the phenomenal growth in user demand for bandwidth and the emergence of the Internet. I look forward to seeing the first issue. Letters should be limited to approximately 200 words.
