Linear terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is a sensitive probe for material characterization including thickness measurements of thin layers. To widen the impact of THz-TDS systems, the THz bandwidth should be maximized, ideally exceeding 15 THz
Here, we introduce a hybrid THz-emitter concept based on a spintronic THz emitter (STE) [1] that is deposited onto a thin freestanding GaSe nonlinear crystal. By tuning the parameters of this hybrid emitter and by superimposing the generated THz pulses from the STE and GaSe, we generate an ultrabroadband THz spectrum covering the full range from 1 to 40 THz without any gaps at high spectral amplitudes, resulting in ultrashort THz-pulse durations of only 32 fs.
Finally, we demonstrate a tunability of the carrier-envelope phase by the external magnetic field from unipolar or bipolar THz pulses with ultrashort duration that are well suited as ultrabroadband THz probe pulses.
