The high binding energy and low diffusion length of photogenerated Frenkel excitons have long been viewed as major drawbacks of organic semiconductors. Therefore, bulk heterojunction structure has been widely adopted to assist exciton dissociation in organic photon-electron conversion devices. Here, we demonstrate that these intrinsically “poor” properties of Frenkel excitons, in fact, offer great opportunities to achieve self-filtering narrowband organic photodetectors with the help of a hierarchical device structure to intentionally manipulate the dissociation of Frenkel excitons. With this strategy, filter-free narrowband organic photodetector centered at 860 nm with full-width-at-half-maximum of around 50 nm, peak external quantum efficiency around 65% and peak specific detectivity over 10 13  Jones are obtained, which is one the best performed no-gain type narrowband organic photodetectors ever reported and comparable to commercialized silicon photodetectors. This novel device structure along with its design concept may help create low cost and reliable narrowband organic photodetectors for practical applications.
