Abstract The Stark effect has been studied in the odd-parity 6snf1,3F3 Rydberg series of barium with high-resolution laser-atomic-beam spectroscopy. Scalar and tensor polarizabilities have been measured of 6snf1F3 levels with n=11–30 and of 6snf3F3 levels withn = 12 − 40. The contributions of the adjacent even-parity Rydberg levels to these polarizabilities have been calculated as far as data are available. This results in important additional information on the only partly known 6sng1,3G4 series and confirms the perturbation of these series atn = 24 by a 5d7dJ= 4 level. A tentative three-channel quantum-defect-theory analysis of the1,3G4 series has been performed. It is shown that reported level energies of the 6snd1,3D2 series are systematically 0.14 cm−1 too high.
