Abstract
The optical luminosity function (OPLF) of a 60µm flux-limited sample of IRAS galaxies is determined and compared to that of an optically selected sample. Of the 92 IRAS sources considered, 7 have no or more than one possible optical within the position error ellipse. The most luminous object is a quasar with an interacting host galaxy system.
