Abstract  Quantum confinement effect and reduced dielectric screening in two-dimensional (2D) dramatically enhance the electron-hole interactions. In this work, we use many-body perturbation theory and Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) to investigate the electronic and excitonic optical properties of monolayer SnP$_{2}$S$_{6}$. Our findings reveal that the excitonic effect dominates the optical absorption spectra in the visible light range, and the lowest-energy exciton $X_{0}$ in monolayer SnP$_{2}$S$_{6}$ is optically bright with the binding energy of 0.87 eV and the radiative lifetime of $\sim 10^{-11}$ s, which is highly advantageous to the photo-luminescence. Most importantly, the absence of optically forbidden states below the bright states $X_{0}$ would give rise to a high quantum efficiency of 2D SnP$_{2}$S$_{6}$. We also find that applied biaxial strain can further shorten the radiative lifetime of the bright states. These results imply that 2D SnP$_{2}$S$_{6}$ is a promising candidate for the optoelectronic devices.
