Abstract
The Iqueye single-photon ultrafast photometer was mounted at the NTT for three runs, two in 2009 (January and December) and one in 2010 (July). Several objects with fast variability were observed. Here we focus on the light curves of the optical pulsars in Crab, Vela, and 0540-69 supernova remnants. The quality of the Iqueye light curves and accuracy of pulse phases allowed us to obtain the best light curves of these three pulsars and were instrumental to compare the optical profiles and timing with those determined at radio frequency, in the UV and at X/gamma-ray energies, and to study the emission geometry.
