Observed anomalous acousto‐optic frequency multiplication in amorphous materials is explained for the first time. Theoretical models reviewed include the nonresonant standing‐wave model, the first‐order modulation model, and the second‐order modulation model. It is found that only the nonresonant standing‐wave model provides an explanation for the observed phenomena, and not the Other models. © 1993 John Wiley & sons, Inc.
