Product properties in molecular photodissociation can be controlled by simultaneous excitation through a number of coherent excitation routes. Examples of simplified methods for maintaining laser phase coherence of the multiple routes, required for control, are described. Of particular interest is a new high field approach where multiple paths are generated in such a manner as to make relatively coherent lasers unnecessary.
