Based on the interaction of 40-fs laser pulses with electron bunches at the 1.5-GeV synchrotron light source DELTA operated by the TU Dortmund University, coherent broad-band THz pulses are routinely generated since 2011. Recently, 11-ps laser pulses with a periodic intensity modulation have been employed in cooperation with PhLAM/CERLA, Lille, in order to generate THz pulses with a narrow bandwidth of down to 300 GHz and a tunable central frequency between 0.7 and 5.5 THz. As a first application, the frequency dependence of YBa₂Cu₃O_7−x-based (YBCO) THz detectors developed at the Institute of Micro- and Nanoelectronic Systems (IMS) at KIT, Karlsruhe, has been studied. In order to investigate a tuning range of the narrow-band pulses at lower central frequencies, a new spectrometer is under development.
