Abstract — A method of spectral multiplexing for a nondestructive monitoring of the refraction-index distribution throughout the volume of a nonuniform near-electrode layer at a metal–solution interface is considered. As shown, the amplitude-modulation Fourier spectroscopy of the reflection from a nonuniform near-surface layer, which has a low-gradient profile of complex refraction index and a weak dispersion of optical parameters, allows one to embody the multiplex principle of measurements and reproduce the refractive-index distribution and, hence, the concentration distribution over the depth of the near-electrode layer, based on either interference patterns or an additional Fourier transform.
