arXiv:2606.06554v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable polymer identification is essential for ensuring the quality and safety of recycled plastics, yet conventional sorting and spectroscopic techniques often struggle to deliver robust discrimination. Terahertz Dual-Comb Spectroscopy (THz-DCS) offers a promising alternative, providing rapid, high-resolution, and non-destructive measurements. In this work, we leverage THz-DCS to classify 12 types of polymers, including pure polymers, multilayer films, commercial blends, and biopolymers. To handle the complexity of these spectral signals, we propose the Multi-Scale Feature Attention Network (MSFAN), a novel deep learning architecture tailored for THz-DCS data. The framework integrates feature gating for signal recalibration and multi-scale parallel convolutions to capture diverse frequency patterns. These features are further refined through cross-feature attention and attention pooling, enabling the model to intrinsically highlight th...
