Enabling Student Engineers to Become Professional Engineers
Because engineering students need practical skills and experience to stand out in a competitive workforce, universities and colleges require tools for their teaching lab that enable applicable test and measurement learning. For undergraduate, graduate, and academic research doctoral students alike, working directly with the test bench instruments they will use in their careers gives them an edge. Yokogawa provides university engineering and technology instructors the educational test and measurement equipment that helps their students develop into the engineering trailblazers of tomorrow.
Industry-Grade Test and Measurement Solutions for Academia
Whether the curriculum focuses on engineering fundamentals or more advanced concepts, Yokogawa instruments meet these needs. Using research-ready, custom-configured test and measurement education laboratory test benches, engineering educators and students can engage in hands-on study and put theory into practice. Students majoring in computer science, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering acquire real-world solution development insights through practical measurement scenarios, systems simulations, example data analysis, and more, while academic researchers further progress prototypes in development.

Superconducting Qubits: The Best Approach to Quantum Computing?
Quantum computers can address challenges of much greater complexity than what today's computers can solve. The race for who can produce the first practical, commercialized quantum computer is on. There are several approaches to build this sort of computer, and it all begins with creating and initializing quantum bits, also known as qubits.

Case Study
Laval University Speeds Up Advanced Photonics Research
Researchers needed to measure the spectral performance of lasers and optics beyond traditional telecom wavelengths. They collaborated with Yokogawa to develop a breakthrough grating-based OSA that covers MWIR wavelengths to 5.5um, leading to dramatic productivity dramatically increased for precise characterization of laser sources and active/passive optical components.

Accelerate Scientific Discovery and Research
For researchers in large-scale academic, industry, or commercial experimental research, test and measurement instrument quality in their labs can mean the difference between confident validation of theories or going back to the drawing board. When factoring in access to funding, budget cuts, and deadlines, building a laboratory test bench that researchers can trust to be precise, accurate, and reliable is no easy task.
Advanced Test and Measurement Solutions for Researchers
Yokogawa provides researchers comprehensive solutions that enable them to advance their experiments and analyses, and go from proof-of-concept prototypes and designs to evidence-supported applications and production. Engineers and researchers in transportation, communications, optical, energy, decarbonization, well-being, quantum computing, and more trust Yokogawa instruments for precise and accurate measurements and data analysis.
Advancing Market Capabilities
The extreme test requirements of our research called for an OSA with extended MIR spectrum bandwidth capabilities up to 5pm, but we couldn’t find one on the market capable of measuring optical inputs at these wavelengths. Yokogawa Test&Measurement rose to the challenge and developed a new OSA model for us that would. Not only do we now have an instrument that is practically custom-made for our needs, it provides repeatable, accurate, and trusted measurement outputs and is easy to learn and use. Their equipment and ability to create a new optical measurement solution has definitely increased the overall efficiency and productivity of our research team.
