We have experimentally determined Auger recombination rates in compressively strained InxGa1-xAs/InGaAsP/InP quantum wells for the first time. The Auger recombination rates were derived from the measured turn-on delay times during large-signal modulation of single mode lasers. The Auger coefficient increases from 5 +/- 1 X 10(-30) to 13 +/- 1 X 10(-30) cm6 s-1 as the indium composition in the quantum well active region, x, increases from 0.53 to 0.73.
