Title: Shiou-Fong Liu and Optical-Fiber Dispersion Measurement.

Introduction

Shiou-Fong Liu is an inventor associated with National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Taichung, Taiwan. Her patent work addresses the measurement of dispersion in optical fibers, a property that affects how optical signals travel through fiber-optic systems.

Latest Patents

Liu is credited with 1 patent: “System and Method for Measuring Dispersion.” The invention describes a method that generates a pulse-light signal with periodic wavelength variations using a periodic frequency-swept source, then transmits the signal through a test optical fiber. After detecting the signal emerging from the fiber, the system converts it into an RF spectrum and uses the resulting slow periodic pulse-timing variation to determine the fiber’s dispersion. The patent also discloses a system for carrying out the measurement.
