We present a brief review on magnetotransmission (magnetoabsorption) and magnetoreflection of natural (unpolarized) light in ferromagnetic chromium chalcogenide spinel, manganites with perovskite structure and thin-film metallic nanostructures in the middle infrared spectral range. The magnetooptical effects under discussion are of high interest for numerous and promising applications in the infrared optoelectronics. •Magnetotransmission and magnetoreflection of light in ferromagnetic are presented.•The effects are greater than common magnetooptical phenomena in the infrared.•The effects may have a different origin depending on a material or spectral range.•Possible applications of the magnetotransmission and magnetoreflection are discussed.
