The angular emission of light of wavelength 710 and 810 nm from a gold diffraction grating was studied at about 700°C. A peak in the emission was found for defined angles. This contribution is purely TM-polarised and is attributed to thermally excited surface plasmons, coupled to light waves by the diffraction grating.
