Abstract
Basing on the measurements of photoelastic coefficients, acoustic waves velocities and the refractive indices, the possible geometries for acoustooptic interaction in b-BaB2O4 crystals have been analysed. It has been shown that the acoustooptic figure of merit achieves its maximum value when the transverse acoustic wave v13 with the velocity 817m/s is propagated in YZ-plane. In this case M2=95.35*10-15s3/kg.
