We have found that torsion mechanical stresses induce the optical rotation effect in centrosymmetric NaBi(MoO4)2 crystals. We have suggested a description of the effect on the basis of nonlocal linear elasticity theory. It has been shown that the induced optical gyration is proportional to the stress gradient appearing due to the torsion.

We develop a technique for analyzing the anisotropy of an acousto-optic figure of merit for crystals belonging to tetragonal symmetry groups 4/m, 4, and 4¯. The technique is based on phenomenological relations that describe anisotropies of the effective elasto-optic coefficients and the acoustic wave velocities. Our approach is verified on the example of NaBi(MoO) crystals for all possible types and geometries of acousto-optic interactions.

The full matrices of the piezo-optic and elasto-optic coefficients for the NaBi(MoO) crystals are obtained for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The acousto-optic effect in the NaBi(MoO) is analyzed for the case of interactions of optical waves with the slowest acoustic waves.
