Abstract
The Stark spectra of Yb atom with m=0 and |m|=1 in the vicinity of n=17 to n=20 have been obtained by using two-step excitation and photoioni-zation method in the applied electric field from 0 to l500V/cm. The Stark splittings and shifts observed in the experiment have been calculated by using numerical integration method. The thoretical results are consistent generally with the experiments. The dependence of the anticrossings of Stark manifolds with quantum defects is investigated. The comparison between the m=0 and |m|=1 Stark structures is furnished.
