It is shown that in GaAs-AlAs superlattices the confined longitudinal-optic Raman phonons created via either deformation-potential or Fr\"ohlich electron-phonon interaction are different. This effect is demonstrated by comparison of resonance and off-resonance Raman spectra. Phonons of A₁ symmetry (point group D₂₃) dominate in resonance, while B₂ phonons are stronger in the off-resonance case. The resonance profile of the A₁ modes is discussed. We also report the observation of confined transverse-optic phonons under extremely resonant conditions.
