The emission spectrum of LaS from a King-type furnace has been recorded in
the region 1800-16000 cm(-1) by a Fourier Transform spectrophotometer (FTS)
. The transitions A(2)Pi (r) --> X(2)Sigma (+), B(2)Sigma (+) --> X(2)Sigma
(+) and the new found A(2)Pi (r) --> A ' (2)Delta (r) transition have been
rotationally analysed. The ground state X(2)Sigma (+) exhibits hyperfine s
tructure case (b(betaJ)).
