According to recent research published in the Journal of Laser Micro Nanoengineering, "In this paper, for the first time, excimer laser micromachining is applied to create new electro-optical devices called substrate integrated modulators, consisting of new optical and microwave waveguides on LiNbO3 substrates."
"The fact of having both optical and microwave waveguides, offers the possibilities to modulate high-frequency optical signal (wavelength of 1.55 mu m) by either millimeter or microwave signal (frequency of 60 GHz). Because LiNbO3 is transparent between 370 nm to 5000 nm, 248 nm KrF excimer laser is one of the best candidates for performing fine ...
