We present a family of original acousto-optical devices. They are based on new acousto-optical materials KRE(WO_4)_2, where RE = Y, Gd, Yb, Lu. A combination of features such as radiation resistance, optical biaxiality and appreciable acousto-optical figure of merit, makes possible creation of polarization-insensitive modulator with almost 100{% of diffraction efficiency. The deflector with wide angular aperture and broad range of deflection, and collinear tunable filter are also suggested.
