The Center for Telecommunications Research, an Engineering                 Research Center at Columbia University conducts research and                    education programs in the domain of advanced telecommunications                 networks.  Major efforts are concentrated on two systems                        projects, the MAGNET network testbed, and a Lightwave Network                   project, which serve as focal points for a broad range of                       investigations and as testbeds for new ideas.  A                                prototype fiber-optic network has been developed and its                        operation has been demonstrated at the unprecedented speed of                   12.5 GHz.  A concept for a metropolitan area network is being                   explored with several industry partners.  Innovations are being                 pursued in semiconductor materials processing, including advances               in laser-assisted chemical etching.  Exciting progress has been                 made in implementing "micro-area networks" involving optical                    interconnections among integrated circuit chips. These activities               will continue and will converge on the concept of intelligent                   distributed optical networks.  This action is a five-year                       renewal.
