Abstract
We report the observation of rotational state splitting in molecular nitrogen induced by a nonresonant optical field. The splittings are observed in high resolution inverse Raman spectra obtained during irradiation of the molecules by a pulsed 1.06 μm laser field. The magnitudes and signs of the Stark shifts are in agreement with predictions from polarizability theory for perturbing optical frequencies far from resonance with the molecular transitions.
