Abstract
By analyzing the fundamentals of the operation of Brillouin sensors it will be shown that all efforts must be focused on obtaining the largest signal-to-noise ratio on the raw optical signal, which ultimately scales all performance of the sensor. Guidelines will be presented, together with recent research efforts to find out smart solutions pushing further the limits.
