On page 1615, D. G. Lidzey and co‐workers explore changes in polariton population distribution in strongly coupled microcavities containing a fluorescent molecular dye. Radiative pumping of polariton states from weakly coupled species within the cavity is identified as the dominant population mechanism. A phenomenological fitting model is developed to describe polariton populations on the lower polariton branch as a function of exciton–photon detuning and cavity temperature.
