Ionization by two-color laser fields with well-defined relative phase allows one to tune and control electronic dynamics on the (sub-) femtosecond time scale. Recently, we demonstrated that in the perturbative photoemission regime electron emission induced by a fundamental pulse can be modulated with a contrast of up to 97.5% when superimposing a weak second harmonic. This modulation is based on the interference between two different quantum channels involved in the photoelectron emission process [1,2]. In the strong-field photoemission regime, a model based on the time-dependent Schrödinger Equation and also the three-step model predict a two-color phase-dependent modulation of the plateau and high-energy cutoff in electron energy spectra [3]. In this talk we show similar field-driven dynamics in two-color photoemission from needle tips by employing a highly nonlinear fiber that generates IR laser pulses with sub-two cycle duration.
