In a method aspect, a method of manufacturing an optical fiber sensor is provided. The method includes providing a structure-forming fiber having a central portion etchable at a first rate when exposed to an etching medium, a inner cladding portion surrounding the central portion having a second etching rate that is greater than the etching rate of the central portion when exposed to the etching medium, and an annular outer cladding portion surrounding the inner cladding portion having a third etching rate that is less than the etching rate of both the central portion and the inner cladding portion when exposed to the etching medium; and exposing an end of the structure-forming fiber to the etching medium for a sufficient time to produce an outer dimension Do, a pedestal, and a gutter surrounding the pedestal having a gutter depth defining an active region of length, L, wherein L/Do ≥ 0.5.
