The rotationally resolved, jet-cooled, electronic spectra of the SH/D rare gas complexes, Rg $\ast$ SH/D(Rg = Ne, Ar, Kr) have been recorded. The complexes were produced by the UV photolysis of small percentage mixtures of either $H2S$ or $D2S$ in He with the appropriate rare gas and then probed via LIF with a pulse amplified cw ring dye laser. We were able to resolve ($\approx$ 300 MHz lasser linewidth) both fine and hyperfine components of these complexes. Data for both pure van der Waals stretch bands as well as bend-stretch combination bands have been recorded for each complex. The analysis of these spectra will be presented and discussed.
