The nonlocal dielectric-response theory is extended to describe oblique reflection of light from quantum wells subjected to the magnetic field. This allows us to calculate the dispersion and polarization of the exciton-polariton modes in semiconductor microcavities in the presence of a magnetic field normal to the plane of the structure. We show that, due to the interplay between the exciton Zeeman splitting and TE-TM splitting of the photon modes, four polariton dispersion branches are formed with a polarization gradually changing from circular in the excitonlike part to linear in the photonlike part of each branch. Faraday rotation in quantum microcavities is shown to be strongly enhanced as compared with the rotation in quantum wells.
