Interpretation of the non-thermal optical emission of pulsars as a spontaneous synchrotron re-emission of the secondary particles involved in the process of resonant absorption of pulsar radio emission is suggested. Our model can explain the non-thermal high-energy luminosities and spectra of both young and middle-aged pulsars. Moreover, it implies a physical link between the radio and higher-energy emission of pulsars.
