Abstract  By applying the dielectric continuum model, optical-phonon modes of the lattice vibration and a complete interaction Fr$\ddot{\rm o}$hlich-like Harniltonian between an electron and the optical phonons including the interface phonons, the confined LO phonons and the half-space LO phonons are derived for a general coupled quantum well (GCQW) structure of polar crystals. The dispersion curves of the interface modes and the electron-interface-phonon coupling function as functions of coordinate z and wavenumber k are given and discussed for a GCQW. We find that there are eight (not ten) frequency solutions for the interface optical-phonon modes in GCQW and that, in the long-wavelength limit, the longitudinal and transverse modes in the two side materials 1 and 5 are forbidden and two new frequency solutions $\omega$± are obtained instead. Moreover, we also find that the electron-interface-phonon coupling functions are complicated functions of k and that the phonons with long wavelengths are important and the higher-frequency modes are more important than the lower-frequency modes for the electron-phonon interaction.
