This letter addresses the effect of generation of confined LO phonons by drifting electrons in quantum wells. We have derived a general formula for the phonon increment as a function of phonon wave vector, electron drift velocity, and structure parameters. Numerical estimates of the phonon increment and the phonon lifetimes have shown that AlAs/GaAs/AlAs and GaSb/InSb/GaSb quantum well structures can demonstrate the effect of coherent LO phonon generation by the electric current.
