With the example of an alpha-iodic acid crystal, we demonstrate the unusual peculiarities of
acousto-optic interaction in gyrotropic biaxial crystals. Basic attention is given to the most …

We have developed a method for the analysis of anisotropy of an acousto-optic figure of
merit (AOFM), which is valid for the case of anisotropic diffraction in the trigonal crystals of …

For the first time, the global maxima of the acousto-optic interaction are theoretically
determined for biaxial SrB_4O_7 crystals by the extreme surfaces method. As it is shown …

Mach-Zehnder and conoscopic interferometry are used to explore photoelastic properties of
anisotropic crystal materials. In a number of cases an application of both techniques …

The optimal geometries of the piezo-optic interaction are determined for SrB 4 O 7 crystals
by the extreme surfaces method. The goal functions of optimization are the change of optical …

The photoelasticity of the Ca_3TaGa_3Si_2O_14 (CTGS) crystal was studied by an
interferometric method based on a single-pass Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The maximum …

Elasto-optic coefficients of gallium phosphide (GaP) crystals were calculated on the basis of
their piezo-optic and elastic coefficients. Surfaces of the spatial distribution of piezo-and …

Piezo-optical and elasto-optical properties of lead molibdate (PbMoO 4) crystals are
investigated, as determined by the quantum-mechanical ab initio calculation of the full set of …

The optimal geometries of vector phase matching are determined for the cases of second
harmonic, sum and difference frequency generation in often-used uniaxial nonlinear optical …

We suggest a new approach for analyzing spatial anisotropy of an acousto-optic figure of
merit (AOFM). The relations for the effective elasto-optic coefficients and the AOFM are …
