Since the recent discovery by the COBE mission of a Cosmic Background in the Infrared containing roughly half of the global cosmic radiative budget, one of the important themes in cosmology has been the detection and characterization of its sources. We report here on the first attempts in this sense carried out through deep mid- and far-IR surveys with the Infrared Space Observatory, and we detail on the observational campaigns of optical follow-up using various ESO telescopes. This resulted in the identification of a population of luminous and ultra-luminous massive star-forming galaxies, strongly evolving in cosmic time. These results set the scene for the forthcoming deeper explorations using the SIRTF observatory and the latest generation of ESO instruments.
