随着人工结构材料向量子力学效应变得至高无上的方向缩小，以及光学和电子设备之间的相互联系增加，对光学/传输相互作用的理解将成为进入下个世纪电子学的基本工具。通过将光学和输运测量技术与新型结构的制备相结合，人们将研究诸如电子-电子和电子-空穴耦合、边缘态传导和一维量子输运、电子结晶、电子-空穴凝聚以及降维系统的热力学性质等现象。

As artificially structured materials shrink towards dimensions where quantum-mechanical effects become paramount, and the inter- connections between optical and electronic devices increase, the understanding of optical/transport interactions will be a fundamental tool with which to enter the next century in electronics. By combining optical and transport measurement techniques with the fabrication of novel structures, one will investigate phenomena such as electron-electron and electron-hole coupling, edge-state conduction and one-dimensional quantum transport, electron crysallization, electron-hole condensation and the thermodynamic properties of reduced-dimension systems.
