Abstract
The authors consider propagation of a plasmon polariton on the interface between a metal and a magneto-optical material and show that in presence of transverse magnetic field a strong nonreciprocal phase shift results. This phenomenon can be used to achieve optical isolation action in short nanoplasmonic guides with low insertion loss.Keywords
