A theory of triple magnetopolarons in an isolated quantum well in a strong magnetic field was developed. We study the behavior of the magnetooptical absorption peaks corresponding to the transitions of an electron at the Landau level with quantum numbers n ≥ 2. For n = 2 at the point of equality of cyclotron frequency and the frequency of optical phonon (LO) , there is a cross of three terms of the electron-phonon system (the electron at the Landau level n = 2, the electron at n = 1, and the optical phonon and electron at n = 0 and two phonons), considered as a function of the cyclotron frequency. Interaction with phonons takes off the degeneracy of the terms and leads to three disjoint branches of the electron-phonon spectrum. The theory predicts that in the resonant magnetic field , the peak of magnetooptical absorption splits into three peaks, the intensity and position of which are dependent in a complex way on the magnitude of the magnetic field and the constant of the electron-phonon coupling.
