Assuming some hydrogen atoms are distributed in the magnetosphere of a pulsar, the gas is a mixture of plasma and hydrogen atoms. Because the induced electrical field in the plasma surrounding the pulsar is very strong due to the rotation of the pulsar associated with a strong magnetic field, the electric polarization of an atom will include the nonlinear term of the electric field. The nonlinear dispersion relation for the mixed gas is obtained from the Maxwell equations, and the nonlinear Schroedinger equation, which has solitons as its solution under a certain condition, is derived. The curvature radiation of solitons moving along the magnetic field lines is a plausible way to explain the strong radio emission which comes from a pulsar, particularly some field lines existing near the light cylinder with radii of curvature smaller than the radius of the pulsar.
