  We investigate theoretically the coherent longitudinal and transversal spin
relaxation of photoexcited electrons in quantum wells in quantized magnetic
fields. We find the relaxation time for typical quantum well parameters between
100 and 1000 ps. For a realistic random potential the relaxation process
depends on the electron energy and g-factor, demonstrating oscillations in the
spin polarization accompanying the spin relaxation. The dependence of spin
relaxation on applied field, and thus on the corresponding "magnetic" length,
can be used to characterize the spatial scale of disorder in quantum wells.
