A method for controlling product yields in photodissociation using weak lasers is applied to CH3I dissociating to CH3+ I(2P3/2) or CH3+ I*(2P1/2). Results, obtained in three dimensions, show substantial control over the I*(2P1/2)/I(2P3/2) ratio for both M-selected and M-averaged initial states. The basis for the method in control of the continuum superposition state is emphasized.
