This Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Phase II project will develop optical sensors, called optrodes, and their systems for monitoring environmental water quality. Phase I research demonstrated the ability of optrodes to gather long-term environmental water quality data in harsh environments. Phase II technical issues are concerned with: (1) analyte specific probe chemistries; (2) optical coatings; and (3) optical configurations. With respect to systems, Phase I found lifetime phase-base measurement systems superior to traditional intensity-based systems. Phase II will develop an integrated phase-based analyzer capable of: (1) resolving dissolved oxygen, dissolved carbon dioxide, acidity, and temperature; and (2) transmission by remote data telemetry.These innovations in optrode technology will: (1) improve mapping of geophysical fields; (2) substantially reduce direct labor costs associated with conventional monitoring technologies; (3) produce robust data for enhanced modeling capabilities; and (4) enable other technology for protecting natural resources.

这个小企业技术转让研究（STTR）第二阶段项目将开发光学传感器，称为光极，及其监测环境水质的系统。 第一阶段的研究证明了光极在恶劣环境中收集长期环境水质数据的能力。 第二阶段的技术问题涉及：（1）分析物特定的探针化学;（2）光学涂层;和（3）光学配置。 关于系统，第一阶段发现基于寿命阶段的测量系统上级传统的基于强度的系统。 第二阶段将开发一种综合的基于相位的分析仪，能够：（1）分辨溶解氧、溶解二氧化碳、酸度和温度;（2）通过远程数据遥测传输。（3）产生用于增强建模能力的稳健数据;以及（4）启用用于保护自然资源的其他技术。
