Abstract
An external electric field can induce M1 and E2 amplitudes in the D lines of alkali-metal atoms, which interfere with the normal E1 amplitudes of these lines, causing the absorption to depend linearly upon the external field and upon the initial spin polarization of the atoms. We discuss this effect and calculate its size for the D lines of rubidium.
