Abstract-Trajectory-based analysis of low-energy electrons and photocurrents generated in strong-field ionization

The three-dimensional classical-trajectory Monte Carlo method is employed to investigate low-energy photoelectron spectra in above-threshold ionization by strong laser fields. By connecting the tunneling coordinates with the final momentum-energy spectra, we identify the effects of the Coulomb potential on electron trajectories and the final energy spectra. In addition, we verify that the photoelectron spectra, depending on the energy region, can be controlled with a two-color laser pulse by varying the phase delay. The modulations of the electron spectra and yields as well as the generated photocurrents reveal the connections among them, which support our previous work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 243002 (2012)] on terahertz wave generation from two-color laser pulses.
