Sensitivity response of channel electron multipliers and channel plates to the polarization of VUV radiation.

It is demonstrated that both channel electron multipliers and channel plates may display pronounced polarization sensitivity when VUV radiation is being detected. Photon angle of incidence is demonstrated to be an important parameter for channel plates.
