Abstract
Effects of static electric and magnetic fields on the differential ac Stark shifts for microwave transitions in ultracold bosonic ${}^{87}$Rb${}^{133}$Cs molecules are studied experimentally. The ac Stark effect is greatly simplified by applying a dc electric field in addition to the magnetic field.
