Abstract
Nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) of Argon atoms by counter-rotating two-color elliptically polarized (TCEP) fields is investigated with a three-dimensional classical ensemble model. Different from two-color circularly polarized fields, the combined electric field in TCEP pulses has no symmetry and the ionized electron mainly returns to the parent ion from one direction. Thus the electron momentum distributions show strong asymmetry. Numerical results show with the increase of the relative phase between the two elliptical fields, the return angle of the travelling electron, i.e., the angle between the return direction of the electron and the +x direction, gradually decreases. Moreover, the dominant behavior of electron pairs evolves from anti-correlation to correlation with the relative phase increasing. This provides an avenue to control the return angle and electron correlation behavior by the relative phase between the two elliptical fields.
