Abstract
Decoherence of molecular vibrational wave packets in hot alkaline dimers du e to the vibration-rotation coupling is considered. The focus is on the stu dy of observable manifestations of the decoherence process in molecular emi ssion tomography. Criteria are presented for control over decoherence by me ans of driving molecular transitions with suitably shaped ultrafast laser p ulses.
