(a) The sketch of the electric field of the laser pulses with the combination of ω/2ω laser fields, Ix = 5 × 1014 W/cm2, Iy = 5 × 1014 W/cm2, λx = 1200 nm, λy = 600 nm. O is the origin of ExEy, A, A′, C, C′ (B, D) mean the ionization (return) moments of the electron, the arrows represent the trend of electric field; (b) the time–frequency distribution of the HHG corresponding to the case of panel (a); (c) and (d) the time-dependent electron wave packets probability density of x, y axes, respectively. The white lines mean that the excursion of the electron trajectories in the continuum is characterized by a distance x0 = E0/ω2.
