Compared with reciprocal optical materials, nonreciprocal materials can break the time reversal and detailed balance due to special nonreciprocal effect, while how its characteristics performing on infrared wavelength have not been paid enough attention. In this paper, the optical properties of three magneto optical materials was investigated in infrared band, that are n-InAs, GaAs, HgCdTe, based on Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. The equations of dielectric constant tensor are present and the effect of magnetic field intensity and frequency has been studied in detail. Additionally, the effect of incidence angle at positive and negative directions to the nonreciprocal absorptivity is also investigated. It is found that the nonreciprocal effect is obvious in infrared wavelength, and the nonreciprocal effect could adjust the absorption characteristic, thus be able to tune the absorption for the specific frequency of incident light. In addition to modeling the directional radiative properties at various angles of incidence, the absorption peaks of three materials under different incident angles are also calculated to understand the light absorption and to facilitate the optimal design of high-performance photovoltaic and optical instrument.
