Title: Transition of recollision trajectories from linear to elliptical polarization

Abstract

Using a classical ensemble method, we revisit the topic of recollision and nonsequential double ionization with elliptically polarized laser fields. We focus on how the recollision mechanism transitions from short trajectories with linear polarization to long trajectories with elliptical polarization. Furthermore, we propose how this transition can be observed by measuring the carrier-envelop-phase dependence of the correlated electron momentum spectra using currently available few-cycle laser pulses.
