We present an overview of the setup for all-optical cooling and beam diagnostics for relativistic C3+ ion beams at the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) at GSI. With new optical diagnostics it is foreseen to improve the measurement of the longitudinal momentum spread of the beam by at least an order of magnitude. The new optical diagnostics together with the new Schottky diagnosis and beam profile monitor available at ESR will allow to access the complete phase space evolution of the beam inside the storage ring. With new laser systems developed for cooling beams with an initially large energy spread it will be possible to replace the electron cooler that was used to reduce the initial momentum spread of the ion beam.
