Abstract
The reliability of a fluoride fiber module generally depends on three factors. They are the lifetime of the fluoride fiber under practical environmental conditions, the reliability of the splice between fluoride and silica fiber in terms of low-loss and low-reflection, and the effectiveness with which the packaging prevents moisture damage. The first factor depends strongly on the fluoride fiber strength. We describe a technique for fabricating fluoride fiber with improved strength and then estimate its lifetime using a static fatigue test. We evaluate the remaining two factors by applying the recommended reliability test program to the fiber modules. We describe the structure of our fluoride fiber module and present the reliability test results with reference to the Bellcore Technical Advisory TA-NWT-001221.
