Highly spatially-squeezed polaritons, with propagation momentum significantly larger than free-space modes at the same frequency, enable varied and extreme control over light-matter interaction. Compared to other polaritons, surface magnon polaritons, the magnetic counterpart of surface phonon polaritons, have received relatively little attention. Here, we investigate the dispersion and properties of surface-magnon polaritons, highlighting the impact of geometric similarities and applying them to various surface-magnon polariton devices in both conventional and topological settings. Our theory predicts a method for strongly localizing and significantly enhancing magnetic fields in the microwave range and developing compact and lossless connectors capable of interconnecting waveguides with vastly different input and output impedances. Our work opens new avenues for manipulating magnetic fields in the microwave regime and for exploring topological phases in polariton platforms.
