New dispersed fluorescence spectra following the excitation of the CBr$2$ \ {A}$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">1</mrow>}B1\leftarrow$\ {X}$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">1</mrow>}A1$ 2$\mathrm{0<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">13</mrow>}$ and 2$\mathrm{0<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">14</mrow>}$ bands at visible wavelengths in a discharge free jet expansion were acquired using an intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) detector. The new dispersed fluorescence spectra show an improvement of the signal-to-noise ratios by a factor of roughly 10 with respect to our previous report.} $5―$, 3859-3863 (2003).} These new data extend the scan range from the maximum redshift of 2500 $\backslash wn$ in our previous report to 6000 $\backslash wn$ and reveal more details of the \ {X}$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">1</mrow>}A1$ state vibrational structure. Vibrational parameters including fundamental frequencies, anharmonicities, and coupling constants were determined for the CBr$2$ \ {X}$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">1</mrow>}A1$ state. Moreover, additional vibrational structures, other than that of the singlet ground electronic state, starting at approximately 2725 $\backslash wn$ were clearly observed in the new dispersed fluorescence spectra. Since these additional vibrational structures possibly belong to the background triplet state (\ {a}$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">3</mrow>}B1$), the singlet-triplet energy gap could be determined. Our progress on the experiments and analyses will be presented.
