摘　　要：Spectral fingerprint and terahertz(THz)field-induced carrier dynamics demands the exploration of broadband and intense THz signal sources.Spintronic THz emitters(STEs),with high stability,a low cost,and an ultrabroad bandwidth,have been a hot topic in the field of THz sources.One of the main barriers to their practical application is lack of an STE with strong radiation intensity.Here,through the combination of optical physics and ultrafast photonics,the Tamm plasmon coupling(TPC)facilitating THz radiation is realized between spin THz thin films and photonic crystal structures.Simulation results show that the spectral absorptance can be increased from 36.8%to 94.3%for spin THz thin films with TPC.This coupling with narrowband resonance not only improves the optical-to-spin conversion efficiency,but also guarantees THz transmission with a negligible loss(~4%)for the photonic crystal structure.According to the simulation,we prepared this structure successfully and experimentally realized a 264%THz radiation enhancement.Furthermore,the spin THz thin films with TPC exhibited invariant absorptivity under different polarization modes of the pump beam and weakening confinement on an obliquely incident pump laser.This approach is easy to implement and offers possibilities to overcome compatibility issues between the optical structure design and low energy consumption for ultrafast THz optospintronics and other similar devices.
