Abstract:	Optical observations of pulsars, uniquely for the high energy regime, can determine all Stokes' parameters and thus fully characterize the photon flux detectable at the Earth. As polarization can give a insight into the geometry of emission zone we can use the measured Stokes parameters to determine through an ‘inverse mapping’ process the location within the magnetosphere where the optical emission is likely to occur. In this paper we present some preliminary results namely the emission is mainly from 300 km above the neutron star surface.
