Abstract
With the three-dimensional classical ensemble model, we revisited the recollision dynamics in strong-field nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) by linearly polarized laser pulses. Back analysis of the NSDI trajectories shows that a significant part of the double ionization events undergo a multiple-recollision process. Similar to the previously revealed single recollision induced NSDI, the multiple recollisions induced NSDI also occurs through doubly excited states at low laser intensities. Further, we find that the contribution of multiple recollisions in NSDI decreases with the increasing laser intensity and wavelength.
