We report sharp optical absorption spectra, lacking evidence of carrier-pair creation process, for both like and unlike rare-gas atom pairs in alkali metals. The excited molecular orbital is probably a virtual bound state. These pair spectra also provide insight into optical properties of solid rare gases.
