The first fully photonics-based radar demonstrator: concept and field trial

We report the first fully photonics-based radar demonstrator. Photonics enables flexibility, wide bandwidth, precision, leading to a fully digital radar paradigm. Field trial results targeting commercial airplanes prove its effectiveness as a proof of concept.
