We present a method to control photodissociation by manipulating the bondsoftening mechanism occurring in strong shaped laser fields, by varying thechirp sign and magnitude of an ultra-short laser pulse. Manipulation ofbond-softening is experimentally demonstrated for strong field (795 nm, 10^12 -10^13 W/cm^2) photodissociation of H2+, exhibiting substantial increase ofdissociation by positively chirped pulses with respect to both negativelychirped and transform limited pulses. The measured kinetic energy release andangular distributions are used to quantify the degree of control ofdissociation. The control mechanism is attributed to the interplay of dynamicalignment and chirped light induced potential curves.
