Aromatic molecules such as perylene and its derivatives find wide spread usage in electronic devices and as dyes as this class of material shows strong light-matter coupling. Here, we show a comprehensive study of the optical properties of the model semiconductor perylene. It adopts two distinctive crystalline polymorphisms, both of which show vastly different excitonic structure and carrier dynamics. The comparison of a detailed theoretical analysis based on first-principles calculations with the polarization-resolved experimental linear absorption spectra yields excellent agreement. In particular, we discuss the importance of electron-hole interaction effects beyond a standard two-particle picture and implications of different approximations commonly made in calculations using density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory formalisms.
