Abstract  Electron dynamics during non-sequential double ionization (NSDI) is one of the most attractive areas of research in the field of laser-atom or laser-molecule interaction. Based on the classic two-dimensional model, we study the process of NSDI of argon atoms driven by a few-cycle orthogonal two-color laser field composed of 800nm and 400nm laser pulses. By changing the relative phase of the two laser pulses, a localized enhancement of NSDI yield is observed at 0.5$\pi $ and 1.5$\pi $, which could be attributed to a rapid and substantial increase in the number of electrons returning to the parent ion within extremely short time intervals at these specific phases. Through the analysis of the electron-electron momentum correlations within different time windows of NSDI events and the angular distributions of emitted electrons in different channels, we observe a more pronounced electron-electron correlation phenomenon in the recollision-induced ionization (RII) channel. This is attributed to the shorter delay time in the RII channel.
