Interaction of acoustic and light waves with accounting of elastooptic and elastogyration effects has been theoretically described. Collinear acoustogyration (AG) diffraction in the quartz crystals has been reinvestigated and thoroughly analyzed. The AG efficiency and the AG figure of merit are calculated for those crystals and compared with the experimental results.
