In the present report non-reciprocal effects at acoustooptical interaction in gyro-tro-pic cubical crystal with electroinduced anisotropy have been considered. It has been shown that the existence of optical gyrotropy causes the doubling of maxima of amplitude non-reciprocity. Application of the electric field leads to displacement and increase of maxima of amplitude non-reciprocity. The possibility of switching the direction of laser generation of ring laser by means of the reversing of applied electric field has been established. Obtained results may be used for creation and optimization of parameters of non-reciprocal elements with electric and polarization controlling.

Keywords: non-reciprocity, gyrotropy, induced anisotropy, acoustooptical effect
