We showcase a 128-element nanophotonic coherent imager with a parallelized readout. This architecture enables single-shot coherent optical imaging without the need for on-chip phase shifting and beam scanning. Using 6 elements, we demonstrate digital beamforming and coherent image reconstruction with a 1.67 beamwidth over an 8.30 field-of-view.
