On hand of 3D PIC simulations we show that in a strongly magnetized plasma a relativistic electron beam can be forced to emit highly coherent radio emission by self-induced nonlinear density fluctuations. Such slowly moving nonlinear structures oscillate with the local plasma frequency at which the relativistic electrons are scattered. Beam electrons dissipate a significant amount of their kinetic energy by inverse Compton radiation at a frequency of about [gamma]2[omega]pe. Since the beam is sliced into pancake structures which experience the same electric field the inverse Compton scattering is coherent. Such a process is a very promising candidate for the coherent radio emission of pulsars.
