Due to its simple structure but nevertheless complex and interesting dissociation dynamics methyl iodide is a well investigated molecule in femtochemistry (e.g.[1,2]). In previous fs experiments (e.g. [2]) the methyl iodide bond was broken and the methyl was probed with REMPI radiation . In our experiment, we used a shaped femtosecond 800 nm pulse [3] in addition to exert control during the pump probe sequenze. Pulse shaping was performed in the frequency domain applying polynomial spectral phases. The methyl states (3Q0,1Q1 ν=0, 1Q1 ν=1) [4] were detected using a velocity-map-imaging method [5]. Using the pulse shaper in combination with an evolutionary algorithm the ratio of the ion yield corresponding to molecular states was optimized. The yields of the above photo-products were studied as a function of the relative pulse delay and chirp parameter in a two dimensional map.
