We investigate the transport properties through narrow InAs bridges in a 4-point configuration within the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), that is formed in the InAs inversion layer. Superconductivity is proximity induced into the 2DEG by two sputterdeposited niobium stripes across the bridge. In this way a ballistic Josephson junction is formed within the 2DEG. The critical current of these junctions is measured as a function of perpendicular and parallel magnetic field. In a magnetic field perpendicular to the 2DEG the well-defined Fraunhofer pattern is observed. On the other hand, when the 2DEG is oriented parallel to the magnetic field, a monotonic decay of the critical current is observed. The measurement data can be explained within the framework of two models that discuss the effect of the Doppler shift or the Zeeman splitting on the Andreev bound states, respectively.
