Abstract
ONE of us (P. A. S.) has recently proposed a model of pulsars, the properties of which were compared with the known radio, optical and X-ray emission from the Crab pulsar1. We now wish to point out that the model predicts a high-frequency modulation of the optical, X-ray and γ-ray radiation which might be detected in the optical part of the spectrum.
