Recoil-ion momentum distributions for double and triple ionization of Ne and Ar, as well as for double ionization of N2 molecule by intense (0.3–0.5 PW cm-2), short (~35–40 fs) laser pulses have been recorded in a so far unexplored long laser-wavelength regime at 1300 nm. Compared to earlier results at 800 nm, the direct (e, ne) ionization pathway during recollision is strongly enhanced manifesting itself in a pronounced double-hump structure in the longitudinal ion momentum spectra not only for Ne, but also surprisingly distinct for Ar and, found for the first time, for molecules. Observed wavelength dependence of the sub-laser-cycle correlated few-electron dynamics might be of paramount importance for possible future applications in attosecond science, in particular, for imaging of ultrafast molecular processes via recollision-induced fragmentation.
