In this article, a transition of coplanar line to substrate‐integrated waveguide onto electro‐optical LiNbO 3 substrate for the design of traveling‐wave optical phase modulator at 60 GHz were proposed, designed, and fabricated for the first time. Micromachining of the LiNbO 3 substrate, which is transparent to a wide range of laser wavelengths, was done by using Excimer laser. Metallized via holes around the coplanar line are considered for the purpose of mode suppression. Also, a cavity resonator was designed to increase the circuit bandwidth. Measurement results show about 5 GHz bandwidth for the demonstrated substrate‐integrated electro‐optical waveguide. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
