We report control of the scattering wave function by an optical Feshbach resonance effect using ytterbium atoms. The narrow intercombination line ((1)S(0)-(3)P(1)) is used for efficient control as proposed by Ciurylo et al. [Phys. Rev. A 71, 030701(R) (2005)]. The manipulation of the scattering wave function is monitored with the change of a photoassociation rate caused by another laser. The optical Feshbach resonance is especially efficient for isotopes with large negative scattering lengths such as (172)Yb, and we have confirmed that the scattering phase shift divided by the wave number, which gives the scattering length in the zero energy limit, is changed by about 30 nm.
