Renormalization and damping of excitonic molecules due to their coupling to the radiation field is theoretically investigated within a picture of interacting polaritons and excitonic molecules. Numerical results are given for some cubic and wurtzite‐type materials. For CdS the renormalization reaches nearly 20% of the binding energy of the excitonic molecule.
