Abstract

An optics and photonics post-graduate degree program is described that was organized, offered, and presented, at the Royal Military College of Canada between the years of 1976 to the present. While the author retired in 1998, one or more of the courses: Fundamentals of Photonics, Fourier Spectroscopy and Fourier Optics, Electro-Optical Systems, Radiation Pleat Transfer, and/or Advanced Instrumentation, continued to be offered/given in the Division of Graduate Studies and Research. The most recent PhD thesis was completed this past year. The history, together with the problems and successes associated with the program at RMC are described. Recommendations are made.
