The properties of the strong- and weak-coupling bound optical polaron in a Coulomb field were studied.The vibration frequency and effective mass of strong- and weak-coupling bound polaron was derived by using improved linear combination operator and unitary transformation methods.The inflence of a Coulomb field on the vibration frequency and effective mass of strong- and weak- coupling bound polaron was discussed.As an example,the numerical calculation for RbCl and AgCl crystals has been carried.The results show that the vibration frequency and effective mass of the strong- and weak- coupling bound polaron will increase with increasing the absolute value of the Coulomb potential.
