Optical emissions of gas-phase sulfur induced by low-energy electrons were studied experimentally in the range 270–550 nm. Molecular bands in the range 280–480 nm and lines of S atoms formed mainly via dissociative excitation of S2 molecules were observed in the spectrum. Optical excitation functions for the 19 most intense atomic and ionic spectral lines and molecular bands in the range 2–50 eV were measured.
