The paper reviews the application of optical pumping to short-lived nuclei, where either the nuclear polarisation is detected by the β-decay asymmetry or the atomic polarisation by Stern-Gerlach-analyzer. Moreover the paper deals with collinear laser spectroscopy on beams of short-lived, mass-separated isotopes. The aim of the experiments is the systematic investigation of nuclear structure through the determination of spin, moments and charge radii from the hyperfine structure and isotopic shift of the atomic spectra. The impact of these experiments on the theory of nuclear forces and structure is discussed by means of a few examples.
