We report the first evidence for the production of the electronically excited NaCd excimer following resonant excitation of the metastable Cd(5p P-3(1)) state. Dependence of intensity of emission from NaCd upon buffer gas pressure, temperature, and exciting laser wavelength is discussed and possible production mechanisms are proposed.
