Abstrakt: The influence of carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of a few-cycle laser pulse on non-sequential double ionization (NSDI) of an atom is investigated by applying the three-dimensional semi-classical re-scattering method. The asymmetric momentum distribution of the double-charged ion parallel to the laser polarization, which depends on the CEP, is explained by comparing the contributions from several half-cycles in the laser pulse. The ionization rate and the returning kinetic energy of the first electron dramatically affect the contributions from each half-cycles, and play different roles in different laser intensity regimes.
