The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Novel Ring Resonator-Based Integrated Photonic Beamformer for Broadband Phased Array Receive Antennas—Part I: Design and Performance Analysis (2010, background): “a limited dynamic range due to the elevated noise and distortion levels at high frequencies [38], [39].”
Low-power, chip-based stimulated Brillouin scattering microwave photonic filter with ultrahigh selectivity (2014, methodology): “Photonic link loss can be minimized by using an RF modulator with lower half-wave voltage (V π), a higher-power laser source, and a higher-power handling detector [52,53].”
Radio over fiber for picocellular network architectures (2007, background): “Performance considerations to achieve high spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) in these networks lead to low RIN and high linearity requirements [7] and have been addressed in multiple investigations [8].”
Microwave photonic signal processing (2007, background): “It also discusses microwave photonics [ 4 ], the applications of microwave photonic signal processing, advantages of signal processing in the optical domain, components, and signal processing architectures.”
