Improvement of the Approximation Accuracy of LED Radiation Patterns

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

In this manuscript, the authors developed an algorithm to calculate the LED radiation pattern and demonstrated higher accuracy of the proposed approximation function compared to conventional methods. This paper is well presented and demonstrated interesting result, I think it is suitable for publication in Electronics.

To Reviewer 1:

Thank you for your review and the expressed opinion, that the paper is suitable for publication in Electronics.

Reviewer 2 Report

The author proposes a approximation methods of LED radiation pattern with improved accuracy. (1) For a the practical application of LED, optics are usually used for either focusing or diffusing. Could the author comments the effects of optics and its influence on the current proposed model? 

(2) There are lots of typos in the manuscript. For example, line 89, 120, 144, 147, 169... Please double check and correct them.

About

(1)   …

The following comment concerning optics has been inserted below line 73 in the Introduction:

The precise determination of the radiation pattern will allow the correct specification of basic parameters (focal length, relative aperture, shadowing) of the optics which can be used to form the radiation from the semiconductor crystal. If the parameters of the additional optics used are known, the cumulative radiation pattern (diagram) will be more precisely determined and the photometric calculations will be more accurate as well.

We did our best to correct the typos using track changes.  The revised version of the paper is uploaded to the editorial system.

Reviewer 3 Report

This paper is about achieving high accuracy of LED radiation patterns by a specific algorithm, and further evaluated by comparison with the approximation with Lambert source of order n to prove that a higher accuracy is achieved. It is novel and the logic is reasonable. So I recommend it to be accepted.
