In this paper, experimental results based on THz undulator with widely tunable gap installed at Tsinghua Thomson scattering X-ray (TTX) beamline are introduced. This is a planar permanent magnetic device with 8 regular periods, each 10 cm long. The undulator parameter varies from 9.24-1.39 by changing the magnetic gap from 23mm to 75mm. The coherent undulator radiation can be used as a narrow-band THz source with central frequency ranging from 0.4 THz to 10 THz. The bunch length was figured out from the radiation intensity at different undulator gap, which agreed well with simulations. Furthermore, slice energy modulation was directly observed when high-peak-current bunch trains based on nonlinear longitudinal space charge oscillation passed through the undulator. The demonstrated experiment in THz regime provides a significant scaled tool for FEL mechanism exploration owing to the simplicity of bunch modulation and diagnostics in this range.
