随着人工结构材料向尺寸方向收缩 量子力学效应变得至关重要， 光学和电子设备之间的连接增加， 光学/传输相互作用的理解将是一个 进入下一个世纪的基本工具 electronics. 通过结合光学和传输测量 技术与制造新的结构，一个将 研究诸如电子-电子和电子-空穴等现象 耦合、边态传导和一维量子 输运、电子结晶、电子空穴凝聚和 降维系统的热力学性质。

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.
