The method includes the following steps that: 1, up-conversion processing is performed on optical carriers, complex baseband signals and radio frequency local oscillation signals in an optical domain, so that two orthogonal paths of radio frequency signals, and one path of optical reference signals are generated; 2, the two orthogonal paths of radio frequency signals are respectively sent to a horizontal polarization antenna and a vertical polarization antenna, and the horizontal polarization antennaand the vertical polarization antenna radiate two orthogonal paths of polarized electromagnetic waves, so that the polarized electromagnetic waves irradiate a target, and the horizontal polarization antenna and the vertical polarization antenna receive the echoes of the target, so that two paths of echo signals are obtained; and 3, the two paths of echo signals and the optical reference signals are subjected to deramp and polarization response separation processing in the optical domain, so that four paths of intermediate-frequency analog electrical signals corresponding to four elements in atarget polarization scattering matrix are obtained; and 4, the four paths of intermediate-frequency analog electrical signals are processed, so that target detection information can be obtained. The invention also discloses a microwave photonic radar fully polarimetric radar. With the microwave photonic radar fully polarimetric radar detection method and the microwave photonic fully polarimetric radar of the invention adopted, a problem that the bandwidth of a fully polarimetric radar is limited, the problem of the structural complexity of the fully polarimetric radar and a problem that it isdifficult for the fully polarimetric radar to realize instantaneous measurement can be solved.
