The electron density is the most important parameter for the performance of an MHD power generator.  The far-infrared laser has offered a powerful diagnostic tool for measuring this quantitiy.  However, the effect of neutral gases should be made clear to improve accuracy.  In the present paper, the variable wavelength far-infrared laser is used to solve this problem.  In the electron density measurement with a Michelson interferometer, the definite fringe shift due to neutral gases in the flame is detected, and the effect of neutral gases, especially that of the rotational absorption by water molecules on the flame refractivity is quantitatively clarified.  The measured electron density agrees very well with theoretical calculations
