Optical photometric observations of the cataclysmic variables, AO Psc and V 1223 Sgr; both of which are believed to contain slowly-rotating white-dwarf pulsars, are presented. These objects belong to the new class of intermediate polars in which the magnetized-white-dwarf rotation period lies in between synchronous and extremely fast rotation periods. The observations reported here were carried out from the Kavalur Observatory using a 1 m reflector. High-time resolution light curves depicting a rich variety of flicker phenomena are presented. Results of a periodic analysis to search for coherent periodic modulations in the light curves are also presented. The optical pulse profile of AO Psc has been derived, and its similarities to the X-ray pulse profile are pointed out.
