Abstract

The hyperfine structure and isotope shift of atomic spectra have been in the past the main source of information on spins,moments and changes in charge radii of nuclear ground states. With the powerful tool of tunable dye lasers a variety of new spectroscopic methods have been developped in recent years leading to a general breakthrough in resolution and sensitivity of optical spectroscopy. Some of them have been especially designed to fit the demands of an on-line spectroscopy of radioactive nuclides which are produced in minute samples only. This paper will describe the principles, applications and results of these experiments.
