This task aims to demonstrate the STARLight platform performances for sensing applications. For this class of applications, the quality of the generation, distribution, detection and processing of signals with complex waveform is the major concern. The 3 demonstrators planned in this task, respectively address these key functionalities with a multichannel coherent sensing waveform generator (T5.3.1), potentially feeding a highly dispersive optical phased array for distribution to free space (T5.3.2), and a photonic RF filter for signal processing (T5.3.3).
