Abstract

The properties of the surface plasmon polaritons in plasmonic structures of different types containing magnetooptical materials are investigated. It is shown that magnezation influences on the plasmon properties such as the propagation constant, the field distribution and the polarization state, leading to the possibility of efficient control of plasmons by magnetic field.
