LEDs are broadband by nature, since the spontaneous emission broadly speaking reflects the overlap of the Fermi distribution and the density of states
Direct and indirect band gaps is an important part of why diodes don't emit light apparently.

- youtu.be/9BDTtcRMxpA?t=388 from Video "How LEDs work by VirtualBrain" explains the geometry aspect well
Apparently fundamentally LEDs in principle work as photodetectors, but
