 Abstract: We report the first observation of a new optical phenomenon,
magnetoelectric directional anisotropy (MEA). MEA is a
polarization-independent anisotropy which occurs in crossed
electric field E and magnetic field B perpendicular to the wave
vector k of the light. It is described by a contribution to the
refractive index of the form deltan=gammak.ExB. Our experiment
was performed on a Er1.5Y1.5Al5O12 crystal, but MEA should
exist in all media. The relation of this new effect with
recently discovered magnetoelectric birefringence is discussed.
