Abstract
We review some theoretical models, which are used to explain some X-ray and gamma-ray data from rotation powered pulsars emitted from regions within and beyond the light cylinder. In particular, the high energy emission resulting from the interactions between pulsar wind and its surrounding medium are considered.
