    Schematic diagram of the simple RF photonic down-converter integrating with OEO-based LO.
    (a) Electric spectrum of the OEO-based LO at a frequency of 6.138 GHz and (b) the picture of the phase noise.
    Experimental results of the LO-integrated down-conversion APL at frequency of about 6.138 GHz: (a) electrical spectrum of down-converted IF signal and (b) the measured SFDR.
    Operation condition of the LO vanishing point induced by the high input RF power at different Δf.
