Laser-induced near-infrared (NIR) emission spectra of neutral bismuth timer, Bi-3, embedded in solid neon matrixes at 3 K were recorded in a range 870-1670 nm. Using photoexcitation with low energy photons at 1064 nm, two emission band systems were newly identified by their origin bands at T-0 = 6600 and 8470 cm(-1). Accordingly, spectral assignment for three NIR emission band systems reported recently was partly revised for the one with its origin band at T-0 = 7755 cm(-1) and reconfirmed for the others at T-0 = 9625 and 11 395 cm(-1). Energy splitting by spin-orbit coupling between the pair of electronic energy levels in the ground state of bismuth trimer, Bi-3, both having a totally symmetric vibrational mode of frequency at omega"(e) = 150 cm(-1), was determined to be 1870 +/- 1.5 cm(-1). Transitions from the pair of electronically excited states, locating at T-0 = 8470 and 9625 cm(-1) above the ground state and separated by spin-orbit coupling of 1155 cm(-1), have relatively long decay constants of tau similar to 0.2 and similar to 0.1 ms, respectively.
