[Gate-users] No photons polarization from Phase Space source

[David Sarrut]

Hello Nicolas,

yes, currently polarization is not in the phasespace source, but it should.
Thanks to spotting that.
Please, can you add an issue in the github to explain this ?

In the future, we will try to add it (please be patient, we are now
focusing on the next release, and our time is limited). If you want to try
yourself to add this feature, please give it a try we can surely help !

thanks
David
