We report on a liquid-nitrogen-cooled compact source for continuous terahertz (THz) emission. The emitter is a Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta intrinsic Josephson-junction stack embedded between two gold layers and sandwiched between two MgO substrates. The radiation is emitted to free space through a hollow metallic tube acting as a waveguide. The maximum emission power is 1.17 mu W. The tunable emission frequency bandwidth is up to 100 GHz with a maximum emission power at 0.311 THz. Since the operation voltage is about 1 V and the current is less than 30 mA, we are able to drive this terahertz source at 77 K with only one commercial 1.5-V battery, just like a torch. This convenient and economical setup may find applications in fields like tracer-gas detection or nondestructive evaluation.
