✦ Synopsis

Stark shifts have been measured for a number of transitions in the origin bdnd of the x 'A"-% 'A' electronic transition in HCF, using Doppler-limited optical Stark spectroscopy. These transitions were observed in dc fields of up to 220 kV/cm, and ehclted by a single-mode tunable dye laser. From the resolved hfJ structure the followinS values for the o-azxis components of the elcctnc dipole moment were computed-gi = 0.061 f 0.005 D, J.I~ ' = 0.488 f 0.005 D. These v~lucs are discussed and rationalised in terms of a simple model. The other component of the electric dipole moment, JJ~, is also discussed though no measurements have been made upon it.
