Polaritons in organic systems has shown the potential to modify chemical properties and to mediate long-range energy transfer between individual chromophores, among other capabilities. Here, we demonstrate that strong coupling and formation of organic exciton-polaritons can be used to selectively tune the isomer emission of organic molecules. By taking advantage of their delocalized and hybrid character, polaritons emerging in the strong coupling regime open a new relaxation pathway that allows for an efficient funneling of the excitation between the molecular isomers. We implement this by strong coupling to trans-DCS (E-4-dimethylamino-4'cyanostilbene)molecules, which present two isomers in different amounts when immersed in a polymer matrix. Thanks to this new relaxation pathway, the photoexcitation that is first shared by the common polaritonic mode is then selectively funneled to the excited states of one of the isomers, recognizing pure emission from the isomeric states that do not contribute to emission under normal conditions.
