Coherent control over branching in the photodissociation of collinear CH2BrI to yield either CH2Br+I or CH2I+Br is examined computationally. Quantum photodissociation calculations, using two excited potentials surfaces, are carried out using a new method incorporating negative imaginary absorbing potentials within the artificial channel method. Extensive control over the I/Br branching ratio is shown to result as experimentally controllable laser amplitudes and phases are varied. Such control is observed for excitation from either initial superpositions of chaotic or regular CH2BrI bound states.
