1 LED
In addition to the semiconductor lasers, when the current motivates the semiconductor diodes can emit the optical radiation. Strictly speaking, the term LED should be only applied to emit the visible Diode; The diode which can emit near-Infrared radiation is called infrared light emitting diode (IRED, Infrared Emitting Diode); The emission peak wavelength is limited near the shortwave, the diode which has part of the ultraviolet radiation is called ultraviolet light emitting diode; However, customarily the above three kinds of semiconductor diodes are collectively called LEDs.

12 Luminous (or radiant) spatial distribution diagram and the related properties
12.1 Iv Luminous（or Radiant） intensity
The luminous (or radiant) flux emitted by the light source within the per unit solid angle can be expressed as Iv = d Φ/d Ω. The concept of the luminous (or radiant) intensity requires to assume the radiation source as a point radiation sources, or its size and light detector area is small enough compared with the distance from it to the light detector, in this case, the luminous (or radiant) intensity on the light detector surface follows the inverse distance square theorem: the E = I/d2. Here I is the intensity of the radiation sources, d is the distance from the radiation center to the detector center. This situation is called the far field conditions. However, in many applications, the distance of measuring LED is relatively short, the relative size of the source is too big, or the angle of the detector surface is too big, it is the so-called near field conditions ( A Near-field Goniospectroradiometer for LED Measurements ). At this time, the luminous (radiant) illuminance depends on the correct measurement conditions.
