We present a new direct algorithm aiming at the reconstruction of the optical
wavefront from the Shack-Hartmann sensor measurements in Single Conjugate
Adaptive Optics (SCAO) systems. The objective of an adaptive optics system
designed for a large telescope can be only achieved if the wavefront
reconstruction is sufficiently fast. Our scheme does not contain any explicit
regularization for the reconstruction process but is still able to provide a
good quality of reconstruction. The analysis of quality is given for three
varying parameters: the diameter of the telescope, the number of subapertures
and the level of photon noise. It has been shown both analytically and
numerically that the quality of the reconstruciton, measured by the Strehl
ratio, is reasonable for the small photon noise level and increases with the
increasing number of subapertures for the same telescope size. The impact of the
photon noise on the reconstruction gets higher with the increasing telescope
diameter. The computational complexity of the method is linear in the number of
unkowns. Counting all summation and multiplication steps the scaling factor is
$14$. Moreover, due to its simple structure, the cumulative reconstructor is
pipelinable and parallelizable, which makes the effective computation even
faster.
