As is well known, the Crab pulsar displays a light curve with a characteristic double peak profile having a period of 33 milliseconds. Its pulse profile has been extensively monitored by several authors; it is also used for testing high-speed photon counters. We have studied the optical light curve of the Crab pulsar by means of a novel photon counting instrument, that has the capability to provide data with exceptionally high temporal resolution and time tagging accuracy of each incoming photon.

Abstract
As is well known, the Crab pulsar displays a light curve with a characteristic double peak profile having a period of 33 milliseconds. Its pulse profile has been extensively monitored by several authors; it is also used for testing high-speed photon counters. We have studied the optical light curve of the Crab pulsar by means of a novel photon counting instrument, that has the capability to provide data with exceptionally high temporal resolution and time tagging accuracy of each incoming photon.
