Abstract
Pomeron coupling to photons has been analyzed. As the pomeron assumed to
couple to hadrons through their constituent quarks and since the photon has no
constituent quarks it's coupling to the pomeron is not well known. We proposed that the
pomeron may couple to two photons in away similar to that of pseudo scalar particles
(π0, η, ή ). To justify our model we have calculated the photon-proton total cross section
in the region where a single pomeron is dominated. For completeness the contribution
from reggeons exchange at low energies has been included. A comparison with the data
shows a good agreement .
