摘要： The pulsar radio emission mechanism remains an enigma since its discovery in 1967. The critical issue of origin of coherent emission is usually investigated separately from the micro-structure of individual pulses and characteristic emission frequency of pulsars... In this letter, these issues are interpreted in an unified scenario. The pulsar spin piles up magnetic field at the apex of last closed field line triggering magnetic reconnection. The resultant Alfven wave interacts with open field lines giving rise to coherent maser curvature and cyclotron emission. Such a scenario of coherent emission not only imposes new limit to emission site, nanoburst, and characteristic frequency, but also affects polarization and pair production required in maintaining a marginal stable circuit in radio emission of pulsars.
