Abstract.

We present a new direct algorithm for the reconstruction of the optical wavefront from the Shack–Hartmann sensor measurements in Single Conjugate Adaptive Optics (SCAO) systems. The computational complexity of this method which is based on linear triangular finite elements is linear in the number of unknowns. Moreover, due to its simple structure, the cumulative reconstructor is pipelinable and parallelizable, which makes the effective computation even faster. Error estimates are given in dependence of the number of the subapertures and the data noise.
