Abstract
Summary form only given. Use of the Stark shift in intense infrared laser fields to trap and align molecules has been proposed recently. For the ground state of a molecule the Stark shift in a low frequency laser field is negative. It increases in absolute value when the molecule approaches the center of the focal spot and peaks for molecular orientation parallel to the polarization of the electric field. We study the effect of Stark shift on the interaction of trapped molecules, in particular on the exchange reactions.
