Laser cooling of ion beams at relativistic energies at the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) at GSI has shown that in order to address the complete phase space of an initially hot ion beam, laser systems have to deliver light at a wide range of frequencies. If all ions are cooled by the laser force, the beam momentum spread can be reduced to a level that cannot be resolved by standard accelerator diagnostics. In our talk we introduce new laser systems and optical diagnostics that are currently set up for an upcoming laser cooling experiment at ESR. We discuss the impact of these new developments on the detection of beam ordering referring to laser cooling experiments previously performed at the ESR.
