The Line ratios within sigma and pi components of Halpha lines from high energy hydrogen atom with Motional Stark Effect are investigated experimentally using the heating beam and plasma in Large Helical Device with the magnetic field of 2.78T. The line averaged electron density and central electron temperature in the plasma are 2x10^19 m^-3 and 1.5 keV, respectively. The emission spectra are measured through four sets of polarizer which tilted by 0, 45, 90, and 135 degree respect to the magnetic field at the plasma center using an imaging spectrometer. Nine component of Halpha lines (sigma0, sigma1+, sigma1-, pi2+, pi2-, pi3+, pi3-, pi4+, pi4-) are observed in the spectra emitted from the hydrogen beam with the energy of 150 – 180 keV/amu. The line ratios of sigma1/sigma0, pi2/pi3, and pi4/pi3 measured in LHD are 0.43, 0.30 and 0.93, respectively, although the expected values are 0.35, 0.31 and 0.73, respectively. There are significant discrepancies in the line ratios of sigma1/sigma0 and pi4/pi3 between measurements and predictions.
