We report measurements of the longitudinal and transverse spin relaxation times of holes in an ensemble of self-assembled InAs/InAlGaAs quantum dots (QDs) emitting in the telecom spectral range. The spin coherence of a single carrier is determined by spin mode locking in the inhomogeneous ensemble of QDs. By modelling the signal, the hole spin coherence time can be extracted to be in the range of T2 = 0.02 - 0.4 *s. The longitudinal spin relaxation time T1 = 0.5 *s is measured by the spin inertia method. Using the spin mode-locking method, we could deter mine the range of the achievable spin coherence of holes, which exceed previously measured values in similar types of QDs by at least an order of magnitude. The longitudinal spin lifetime of 0.5 μs is also extended and currently provides the upper limit for the spin coherence.
