The generalized Kirchhoff's law(Rytov theory) predicts that the polarization state of thermal emission from an individual small particle depends on the particle shape. We show for the first time experimental evidence confirming this prediction for particles smaller than the wavelength. We propose that the measurement of the polarization state of thermal emission may be applicable to real-time analysis of the shape of black carbon particles in air.
