The electron-LO phonon coupling constant for double-barrier quantum well structure was calculated using the Frohlich model of the electron-phonon interaction and assuming coupling of the confined electron with bulk LO phonon mode. Magnitude of the Huang-Rhys factor g and possibility of de­tecting of phonon replicas in the resonant tunneling current are discussed for GaAs-AlxGa1-xAs and CdTe based structures.
