Stark widths of three S III spectral lines belonging to 4p-5p transiti
ons have been measured and calculated. Measurements have been performe
d in a low pressure linear pulsed are at 2.1 . 10(23)m(-3) electron de
nsity and 40000 K electron temperature. Calculations for S III lines w
ere performed by using the modified semiempirical approach. For S IV 4
s(2)S-4p(2)P(o) multiplet, calculations were performed within the semi
classical perturbation formalism. The obtained results were compared w
ith other theoretical and experimental data.
