We use a complete sample of 70μm and 160μm selected sources from Spitzer observations of a 1 square-degree region in the Lockman Hole, supplemented by ISOPHOT data at 90μm and 170μm, to determine the evolution of the far-infrared luminosity function (LF) of luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs) out to redshift z 1. Keck spectroscopy is available for the majority of these sources and for the remainder we use photometric redshifts obtained from a combination of multi-wavelength ground-based optical/NIR photometry and Spitzer-IRAC data. We present evidence for strong evolution in the LF for LIGs in the luminosity range log(Lir/Lsun) = 11 12.5.
