Laserspectroscopic investigations of the Stark splitting and shift behaviour of the hyerfine components of resonance lines of potassium, rubidium, europium and gallium have been performed in external electric fields up to field strengths of 400 kV/cm. For the transitions 39 K(4 2 S 1/2 − 4 2 P 1/2 ; D 1 -line); λ = 769.896 nm, 39 K(4 2 S 1/2 − 4 2 P 3/2 ; D 2 -line); λ = 766.490 nm, 85,87 Rb(5 2 S 1/2 − 5 2 P 1/2 ; D 1 -line); λ = 780.023 nm, 151,153 Eu(a 8 S 7/2 − z 6 P • 7/2 ); λ = 576.520 nm, 69,71 Ga(4s 2 4p 2 P 3/2 − 4s 2 5s 2 S 1/2 ); λ = 417.204 nm, we derived the scalar polarizability difference ∆α 0 between upper and lower level of the transitions and the individual tensor polarizabilities α 2 .
