Auger rates are calculated for three InAsSb mid-infrared laser structures as a function of temperature. Compressive strain in the quantum wells reduces the mass of the holes; it is shown that this leads to a reduction in the Auger rate compared with an unstrained quantum well. The Auger rates for these structures are similar primarily due to their similar bandgap energies
