We derive third-order anharmonic coupling constants between various phonon modes in a zinc-blende crystal of a binary compound using a valence force field model extended by adding Coulomb interactions between polarizable ions. We find and compare the anharmonic coupling between the zone-center LO phonon and other phonon modes along principal directions of a GaAs crystal.
