By numerically solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation and semiconductor Bloch equations, the light-induced residual current in monolayer graphene driven by a circularly polarized few-cycle laser is investigated. An evident current direction reversal is disclosed when the amplitude of the driving electric field exceeds a certain threshold value, which is absent in recent investigation [Nature 550, 224 (2017)]. Here the internal physical mechanism for the current reversal is inter-optical-cycle interference under a suitable long laser wavelength. Moreover, the reversal-related laser field amplitude depends sensitively on the ratio of ponderomotive energy to photon energy.(c) 2022 Optica Publishing Group under the terms of the Optica Open Access Publishing Agreement
