N2 - Singlemode-Multimode-Singlemode (SMS) is one of the fiber optic sensor structures that is widely applied for many sensing applications. High sensitivity is the preferred characteristic of SMS fiber structure. In this paper, a tapered structure is introduced to the SMS fiber structure to increase its performance. The tapered structure is made by the etching method by immersing the SMS multimode fiber in hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution. The immersion time was varied 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes. The diameter of the multimode fiber decreases with the longer immersion time, while the length does not change. The STMS transmission spectrum was measured to investigate its performance. The chemical etching method using HF solution for tapering the SMS fibers has great potential as a simple method to achieve a smaller radius without lengthening multimode fibers.
