Abstract. We present the method for analyzing the anisotropy of acoustooptic figure of merit for optically uniaxial crystals and illustrate it on the example of crystalline paratellurite. This first part of the article deals with analysis of the isotropic acoustooptic interaction. The results of our calculations agree well with the experimental data known from the literature. 

Keywords: acoustooptic figure of merit, effective elastooptic coefficients, paratellurite crystals, anisotropy
