Abstract: Ultrafast spin dynamics is a core research focus for advancing ultrafast spintronic devices, yet its accurate quantitative probing remains a challenge with conventional time-resolved techniques. Herein, we employ double-pump optical pump–terahertz emission spectroscopy (OPTE) to investigate the ultrafast spin dynamics of a Pt/Gd19(Co0.8Fe0.2)81/Ta ferrimagnetic rare-earth–transition-metal heterostructure. Experimental measurements resolve a single-step ultrafast demagnetization process with a characteristic time of ~0.42 ± 0.02 ps, followed by two-stage magnetic recovery involving a fast relaxation and a slow relaxation process. The fast and slow recovery time constants show a distinct positive dependence on the control pump fluence, increasing from 2.49 ± 0.11 ps to 3.28 ± 0.03 ps and 57.36 ± 11.28 ps to 164.96 ± 1.61 ps, respectively, as the pump fluence rises from 0.80 to 1.19 mJ/cm2. The ~0.42 ps demagnetization timescale is consistent with that of 3d transition metals, indicating the transient magnetic response of the low-Gd-concentration heterostructure is dominated by the CoFe sublattice. Our findings validate that OPTE is an effective approach for the quantitative characterization of electron–lattice–spin coupling processes in spin-based heterostructures and provide critical experimental insights for controllable manipulation of ultrafast spin dynamics, laying a foundation for the design of ultrafast terahertz spintronic devices.
