THz frequency devices have gained significant attention driven by widespread application potential ranging from communication to nondestructive characterization techniques to astrophysics applications. Spintronic THz Emitters (STEs) show great potential to complement conventional semi-conducting materials due to their straightforward and cost-effective fabrication techniques resulting in seamless on-chip integration with modern device technologies[1].

While typical STEs exhibit a very broad emission spectrum[2], in some cases a narrow emission band may be preferred.

In this work we present a micropatterned spintronic THz emitter based on CoFeB/Pt bilayer, which creates a THz burst corresponding to a narrow band emission at the burst's fundamental frequency. The samples were fabricated by DC sputtering and optical lithography. The THz emission measurements were performed with a wide band detection range up to 40 THz. These devices demonstrate a viable and straightforward method to produce controlled emission in a well-defined THz frequency band.
