We report on the design, construction and test of a generic form of sensor for making distributed measurements of a range of chemical parameters. The technique combines optical time-domain reflectometry with chemically sensitive water-swellable polymers (hydrogels). Initial experiments have concentrated on demonstrating a distributed water detector; however, gels have been developed that enable this sensor to be readily adapted to distributed pH measurements.
我们报告了一种用于对一系列化学参数进行分布式测量的通用型传感器的设计、构建和测试。该技术将光学时域反射计与化学敏感的水溶胀聚合物（水凝胶）相结合。初步实验主要集中在展示一种分布式水探测器；然而，已经开发出了一些凝胶，使这种传感器能够很容易地用于分布式pH测量。
