Scientific paper

Mode coupling (polarization limiting) has been proposed as an explanation for the orthogonally polarized radiation (OPR) observed from pulsars. Using a simplified magnetospheric model it is shown that it cannot account for the presence of circular polarization in the OPR phenomenon. Mode coupling occurs much closer to the star than the point at which the normal modes of the plasma become significantly elliptically polarized.
