    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for biochemical detection with ultra wideband coherent optical combs. An example biosensor includes an optical excitation source configured to generate an optical excitation signal, a programmable optical filter, an optical detector, and detection circuitry configured to apply coherent mixing detection. During a biosensory operation the optical excitation signal is applied to a biochemical sample that includes at least one targeted biochemical agent, and the optical detector captures a first signal that includes spectral responses corresponding to applying the optical excitation signal. The programmable optical filter applies optical filtering to a copy of the optical excitation signal, based on a matching target reference signal for the targeted biochemical agent, to generate second signal. The detection circuitry applies coherent mixing detection to the first signal and the second signal generated.
