Abstract
We report reliability test results for a fluoride fiber module. We developed a sealed fluoride fiber module for practical optical fiber amplifier use. Trouble-free damp heat storage and low-temperature storage for 5000 h and trouble-free temperature cycling and temperature-humidity cycling tests revealed that our fluoride fiber module has long-term stability under practical environmental conditions.
