Here, in this paper we present the first high-resolution laser spectroscopy results obtained at the GISELE laser laboratory of the GANIL-SPIRAL2 facility, in preparation for the first experiments with the S3 -Low Energy Branch. Studies of neutron-deficient radioactive isotopes of erbium and tin represent the first physics cases to be studied at S3. The measured isotope-shift and hyperfine structure data are presented for stable isotopes of these elements. The erbium isotopes were studied using the 4f12 6s2 3H6 → 4f12(3H)6s6p J = 5 atomic transition (415 nm) and the tin isotopes were studied by the 5s2 5p2 (3P0) → 5s2 5p6s(3P1) atomic transition (286.4 nm), and are used as a benchmark of the laser setup. Additionally, the tin isotopes were studied by the 5s2 5p6s(3P1) → 5s2 5p6p(3P2) atomic transition (811.6 nm), for which new isotope-shift data was obtained and the corresponding field-shift F812 and mass-shift M812 factors are presented.
