In this paper, the authors discuss the optimization of the Fe(FM-layer)/Pt(NM-layer) for efficient THz emission considering the following points: the FM and NM layer thickness, the optical pump wavelength, the choice of the substrate, and the out-coupling efficiency to the free-space. To improve the out-coupling efficiency, we introduce antenna structures with various shape. It has been demonstrated that a well-designed antenna structure can enhance the THz emission efficiency by several times. In addition, the authors will report a magnetic-field bias modulation, with which the signal detection efficiency can be almost doubled.
