Acoustooptic and photoelastic properties of Li2B4O7 and alpha-BaB2O4 crystals have been studied for the light wavelength of 442 nm . It has been shown that the efficiency of acoustooptic diffraction increases essentially at 442 nm, when compare with that typical for 632.8 nm

Keywords: acoustooptic diffraction, borate crystals, dispersion
