Abstract
Lasers have played an important role for the development of
new spectroscopy techniques yielding spins, electromagnetic moments and
charge radii of many unstable nuclei. More recently, similar techniques
have been introduced to manipulate atoms and thus to prepare beams or
samples of radioactive atoms for various applications including nuclear
spectroscopy and decay studies.
