Abstract
Extensive control over relative product yields is shown to result from weak laser photodissociation in a two-color coherent control scenario . Photodissociation takes place from a superposition state prepared by stimulated emission pumping. The method allows for control in the pre sence of laser phase jumps by using four-wave mixing to prepare the re quired laser frequencies. The near W photodissociation of Na-2, result ing in the Na(3s) + Na(4s) and the Na(Ss) + Na(3d) products, is used t o illustrate the method.
