We observed very pronounced polarization of light emitted by highly aligned free-standing multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) sheet in axial direction which is turned to the perpendicular polarization when a number of layers are increased. The radiation spectrum of resistively heated MWNT sheet closely follows to the Plank's blackbody radiation distribution. The obtained polarization features can be, described by a classical dielectric cylindrical shell model, taking into consideration the contribution of delocalized pi-electrons (pi surface plasmons). In absorption (emission) the optical transverse polarizability, which is much smaller than longitudinal one, is substantially suppressed by depolarization effect due to screening by induced charges. This phenomenon suggests very simple and precise method to estimate the alignment of nanotubes in bundles or large assemblies. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
