Optical spectroscopy of superheavy elements is experimentally challenging as their production yields are low, half-lives are very short, and their atomic structure is barely known. Conventional spectroscopy techniques such as fluorescence spectroscopy are no longer suitable since they lack the sensitivity required in the superheavy element research. A new technique called Laser Resonance Chromatography (LRC) could provide sufficient sensitivity to study super-heavy ions and overcome difficulties associated with other methods. In this contribution, I will explain the LRC technique and the progress that we made towards LRC experiments.
