Light-Wave/Elastic-Wave Analogies in Crystals

Abstract
General consideration is given to the analogies that exist between the propagation of light waves and the propagation of ultrasonic waves in anisotropic media. A historical survey is given of prior work in this area, followed by a comparison of present views of the analogies with those of other investigators. The inability to obtain a direct one-to-one analogy for all phenomena is discussed.
