Background:

Continuous wave (CW) terahertz spectroscopy is vital for industrial non-destructive testing and multi-layer thickness determination.
Real-time inline monitoring necessitates high acquisition and data evaluation rates, often hindered by full spectrum analysis.
kHz acquisition rates require optimized data processing beyond traditional full spectral scans.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate the feasibility of extracting multi-layer thicknesses from sparsely sampled terahertz spectra.
To develop a real-time evaluation scheme for high-speed (kHz) terahertz spectroscopy applications.
To validate a computational reduction strategy for terahertz spectroscopic data analysis.

Main Methods:

Implemented a sparse sampling approach, analyzing only selected frequencies instead of a full spectrum.
Developed a real-time evaluation scheme with computational runtimes under one millisecond.
Utilized knowledge of sample composition and refractive indices for layer thickness extraction.

Main Results:

Achieved multi-layer thickness determination with uncertainties comparable to full spectrum evaluation.
Reduced computational load by three orders of magnitude for data analysis.
Demonstrated a standard deviation below 5 µm for individual layer thicknesses in a three-layer sample.

Conclusions:

Sparse sampling in terahertz spectroscopy is effective for high-speed industrial applications.
The developed real-time evaluation scheme enables kHz measurement rates for inline monitoring.
This approach addresses industrial needs for rapid, accurate multi-layer thickness determination.
