✦ Synopsis

The dipole moment parameters (\mu_{0}) and (\mu_{33}) of (\mathrm{SiF}{4}) have been determined previously from linear Stark effect observations on (E)-type transitions. These dipole moment parameters have been used to predict the nonlinear Stark effect which arises from interactions between (A{1} / A_{2}, F_{1} / F_{2}), and (E / E) energy levels. Both the frequency and intensity of the Stark saturation spectra of selected transitions of the (v_{3}) fundamental have been measured using the infrared sideband technique. It has been shown that the observed (M) structure agrees with the prediction within the error limits of the dipole moment parameters. ici 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
