Abstract
We propose an approach for the excitation of polariton Tamm states with a controllable nontrivial topology. The Tamm polaritons emerge at the interface of two binary one-dimensional photonic crystals belonging to a ${C}_{3v}$ point group, with an exciton resonance within their matching band gaps. The external magnetic field applied in the Faraday geometry endows the dispersion of the Tamm polaritons with the nonreciprocity: it lifts the degeneracy between opposite propagation directions in the interface plane. The phenomenology of Tamm polariton currents closely resembles one of a ${Z}_{2}$ topological insulator. The proposed structure acts as an optical spin splitter controlled by the magnetic field magnitude.
