    "abstract": "We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that the Gouy phase of a\nfocused laser beam may be used to control the photo-induced reactions of a\npolyatomic molecule. Quantum mechanical interference between one- and\nthree-photon excitation of vinyl chloride produces a small phase lag between\nthe dissociation and ionization channels on the axis of the molecular beam.\nAway from the axis, the Gouy phase introduces a much larger phase lag that\nagrees quantitatively with theory without any adjustable parameters.",
