The radio pulses from pulsars are considered to be formed from the beamed radiation from relativistic electrons. This radiation is in low order harmonics of the gyro frequency, giving pulse shapes and polarisations which agree with observation.

A possible connection between the shapes of radio pulses and the emission of optical pulses, via the electron energy, leads to a suggested means of searching for visible pulsars with improved sensitivity.
