  We present efficient laser-driven THz generation by optical rectification in various organic materials yielding transient fields up to 150 MV/m and 0.5 Tesla. The generated spectra extend over the entire THz gap (0.1-10 THz). Manipulation of the absolute phase by dispersion control is demonstrated for 5-octave spanning, single-cycle pulses. The presented source will be applied to the future SwissFEL as Xray photon temporal diagnostics and for pump-and-probe experiments.
