After a brief overview of the theoretical principles, some works to face the two main technical challenges (large dynamic range and higher spatial resolution) are commented. Then an overview of some real and on-field applications is done.}, organization = {This work has been supported by the Spanish TEC2010-20224-C02-02 Project.}, publisher = {Hindawi Publishing Corporation}, publisher = {Journal of Sensors, 2012, 204121}, title = {Brillouin distributed fiber sensors: an overview and applications}, author = {Galíndez Jamioy, Carlos Augusto and López Higuera, José Miguel}, }
