We propose a full polar cap cascade model which includes the curvature and inverse Compton emission of the primary particles, and both synchrotron radiation and inverse Compton of the higher generation pairs. Such a full cascade model can reproduce both the Lγ ∝ (Lsd)1/2 and the Lx ~ 10−3Lsd dependences observed from the known spin-powered pulsars.
