A possibility for appearance of the so-called kH-effect in crystals is analyzed, which originates from the light absorption, spatial dispersion and the influence of magnetic field. It is shown that the kH–effect can lead to linearization of the Cotton-Mouton effect. The coefficients of both the Cotton-Mouton ( n33b31-n13b11=2.8*10-15Oe-1) and the kH-effect ( d1112<0.72*10-20m/Oe) are obtained for CdS crystals.

Key words: nonreciprocal birefringence, spatial dispersion, magnetooptics
PACS: 78.20.Ls
