Numerical integration of the time-dependent Schroedinger equation for two three-dimensional electrons reveals the behavior of helium in the presence of strong 390 nm and 800 nm light. Non-sequential double ionization is seen to take place predominantly at times when the electric-field component of the light reaches its peak value. Double ionization starts only in the second cycle of a flat-top pulse, and reaches a stable value only after many cycles, showing that recollision, sometimes through very long trajectories, must be involved.
