The Ca2Pb(C2H5CO2)6 organic crystals of good optical quality were obtained by a slow evaporation method. The temperature dependencies of refractive indexes and piezooptical coefficients were investigated at the region of ferroelectrical phase transition. The coefficients of the quadratic electrooptical as well as piezo-electrooptical effect induced by spontaneous polarization were calculated. The obtained results are discussed on the base of the optical indicatrix equation.

Key words: ferroelectrics, organic crystals, piezoelectrooptical effect, Ca2Pb(C2H5CO2)6 crystals
