A key problem within these efforts is the development of a transparent ultra-thin photodetector for sampling the intensity profile of the generated SW. Group III-materials are promising candidates to ensure a good photodetector performance combined with the required optical transparency. In this work, we report on the interrelation of strain and dislocation density along with the influence of the structural properties on the sensitivity of double-heterostructure III-nitride photodetectors grown by molecular beam and metal organic vapour phase epitaxy.

INTRODUCTION Optical interferometry has become the most used method for nanoscale high precision displacement measurements, especially, in areas where a non-contact measurement setup is required. State of the art interferometers are based on the Michelson interferometer concept. These interferometers consist of a plurality of classical optical components (e.g. beam splitters), which require a relatively large workspace along with high precision alignment. The most promising alternative is the standing wave interferometer (SWI), which combines the advantages of classical interferometers with the moderate space requirements due to a reduced number of the optical components [1]. In the fundamental setup of SWI most of the incident beam is transmitted through the photodetecto
