In recent years, spintronic terahertz (THz) emitters have become a well-established source for strong single-cycle THz pulses [1]. In those metallic multilayer systems, an optically induced spin-polarized current pulse is converted into a transverse charge current, resulting in a broadband emission of THz radiation. In this work, we investigate different strategies for coupling the transverse current to micro-resonators on, or in close proximity, to the THz emitter surface and their influence on the detected THz spectrum. Various designs of resonator arrays were fabricated by electron beam lithography with expected resonance frequencies in the range of 0.5-4 THz. The resonances are visible as a decreased spectral THz amplitude at the corresponding resonance frequencies. A transition from a field- to a current-coupled regime is identified for decreasing distance between the resonator and the emitter, and compared to numerical modelling based on finite-element simulations.
