We have developed a numerical code for the propagation of different electromagnetic modes in a pulsar magnetosphere filled by a relativistic, streaming electron-positron plasma in a strong, curved magnetic field. We determine the trajectories, limiting polarization and damping of the waves leaving the magnetosphere.
