Abstract

A model of pulsar emission fluctuations down to sub-microsecond time-scales is presented. The model is consistent with the empirical amplitude modulated noise model. It is proposed that the time-scale of the shortest observed micropulses is determined by the coherence of single-particle curvature radiation.
