In the present paper a novel cone shaped nano-fiber (CSNF) pH sensor using multi-mode fiber (MMF) has been fabricated and demonstrated. Three different pH indicators, chlorophenol red, bromothymol blue and cresol red with precursor tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) have been used for fabrication of pH sensing layer. A significant enhancement in sensing properties of pH sensor with TiO2 thin film has been observed. The pH sensor with TiO2 thin film shows the quite high sensitivity (1.16 dBm/pH) as compared to sensor with simple pH coating (0.81 dBm/pH) at 1550 um with a good linear response. Moreover, the sensor with TiO2 film exhibits fast response time of similar to 25 s for pH values ranging from 4 to 11 with excellent stability and durability.
