Starting with the basic theory of the coherent control photocurrent，namely the Kane energy band mode and the Golden transition rule，the distribution of the photo-induced carries in the momentum space is demonstrated under several phase differences between the two exciting paths. The physical substance of the co. herent control photocurrent is revealed，it is the result of the asymmetric distribution of the photo-carrier in mo. mentum space and its magnitude and direction are controlled by the phase difference of the exiting light fields. The experimental and theoretical progress on the coherent control photocurrent is reviewed.
