Fiber-optic temperature sensing, data analysis and AI for high-temperature research
Calornet LLC is a scientific consulting and technology company in Rolla, Missouri. We combine fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing with data analysis, machine learning and software, so a temperature measurement turns into something you can interpret and use.
01 · Sensing
Fiber-optic sensing and material characterization
An optical fiber in contact with the material records temperature along its length, so you see how temperature varies through the sample rather than at a single point. We capture these distributed profiles across the phases of a material as it heats, melts, crystallizes or cools, and use them for material characterization.

02 · Data analysis and AI
Data analysis and AI for temperature profiles
Data analysis of temperature profiles
Analysis of distributed temperature data to describe how temperature changes along a sample and over time.
Machine-learning and signal-processing models
Models for working with distributed sensing signals. For an example of the approach, see AI-driven sapphire fiber sensors.
Software and dashboards
Software tools and dashboards for viewing and working with temperature data. Our free FBG calibration and temperature estimator is an example of a tool we built.
Training and consulting
Training and consulting on distributed temperature sensing and on analyzing its data.
Who it is for
Universities and research companies
Our services are intended for universities and research companies working on high-temperature materials synthesis, crystallization and critical minerals.
Applications
