The high speed photometer Iqueye has been used at the NTT in January and December 2009, obtaining a series of data on the Crab, LMC and Vela pulsars. This paper describes in particular the data obtained on PSR B0540-69 (the second brightest optical pulsar) and the derived light curve. Conclusions are then drawn about the braking index and other characteristics.

Abstract
The high speed photometer Iqueye has been used at the NTT in January and December 2009, obtaining a series of data on the Crab, LMC and Vela pulsars. This paper describes in particular the data obtained on PSR B0540-69 (the second brightest optical pulsar) and the derived light curve. Conclusions are then drawn about the braking index and other characteristics.
