Herein we show that PCDMs are scalable realizing a 2-inch aperture device based on a polycrystalline zinc selenide (ZnSe) as the photoconductive substrate and a thin polymeric reflective membrane. ZnSe is electrically characterized and analyzed through a model that we previously introduced. The PCDM is then optically tested, demonstrating its capabilities in adaptive optics.STAMPAenArticle10.1364/OL.41.0025732-s2.0-84975034048000377466000046https://www.osapublishing.org/view_article.cfm?gotourl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eosapublishing%2Eorg%2FDirectPDFAccess%2FF7C031A4%2DA11F%2DE9E3%2DCD31DD3B2658742E%5F340955%2Fol%2D41%2D11%2D2573%2Epdf%3Fda%3D1%26id%3D340955%26shib%3D915874%26seq%3D0%26mobile%3Dno&org=Istituto%20Nazionale%20di%20Astrofisica%20Osservatorio%20Astronomico%20di%20Arcetri%20Biblioteca2016OptL...41.2573QING-IND/22 - SCIENZA E TECNOLOGIA DEI MATERIALI
