Optical laser pulses impinging at the ferromagnet/metal thin film stacks can generate a pico-second electro-magnetic transients with frequency content extending into THz frequency range. We fabricated Si/SiO2//Ta/Fe/Ru/Ni/Al2O3 and Si/SiO2//Pt/Fe/Cr/Fe/Pt spintronic THz emitters in which we varied interlayer exchange coupling between the ferromagnetic thin films by varying the thicknesses of either the Ru or Cr spacer layer. As a result, THz emission shows a dramatic variation of amplitude in weak external magnetic fields due to an interference of THz transiens generated at the individual Fe/Ru, Ru/Ni or Fe/Pt emitters. We explore the effect of the ambient temperature and the spacer layer thickness variations on the THz amplitude.
