Organic solid-state lasers (OSSLs) have been a topic of intensive investigations. Perylenediimide (PDI) derivatives are widely used in organic thin-film transistors and solar cells. However, OSSLs based on neat PDIs have not been achieved yet, owing to the formation of H-aggregates and excimer trap-states. Here, we demonstrated the first PDI-based OSSL from whispering-gallery mode (WGM) hexagonal microdisk (hMD) microcavity of N,N'-bis(1-ethylpropyl)-2,5,8,11-tetrakis(p-methyl-phenyl)-perylenediimide (mp-PDI) self-assembled from solution. Single-crystal data reveal that mp-PDI molecules stack into a loosely packed twisted brickstone arrangement, resulting in J-type aggregates that exhibit a solid-state photoluminescence (PL) efficiency phi > 15%. Moreover, we found that exciton-vibration coupling in J-aggregates leads to an exceptional ultrafast radiative decay, which reduces the exciton diffusion length, in turn, suppresses bimolecular exciton annihilation (bmEA) process. These spectral features, plus the optical feedback provided by WGM-hMD microcavity, enable the observation of multimode lasing as evidenced by nonlinear output, spectral narrowing, and temporal coherence of laser emission. With consideration of high carrier-mobility associated with PDIs, hMDs of mp-PDI are attractive candidates on the way to achieve electrically driven OSSL.
