We have investigated the phase shift caused by a static electric field on a beam of Rb atoms carrying alignment (but no orientation) using an all optical technique with spatially separated pump and probe regions. Quantitative measurements of the phase shift agree with theoretical predictions to within 1.4%. An experimental demonstration of the velocity independence of the effect based on time-resolved measurements is given.
