Abstract
Data on acoustic (absorption and velocity of sound), optical (refractive in dex and optical absorption coefficient), and photoelastic (coefficients of acoustooptical quality and photoelastic constants) properties of KY(MoO4)(2 ) crystals are obtained. It is shown that, not only does the anisotropy of binding forces lead to a significant anisotropy of acoustic and photoelasti c properties, but it also determines anomalously high elastic nonlinearity in the direction of the Y-axis perpendicular to cleavage planes.
