Biography
He is a graduate from
Jean Robieux was a president of the Société d'encouragement pour l'industrie nationale, whose purpose is to highlight successful entrepreneurs in the development of techniques and new industrial processes, from 1984 to 1991.
Then he turned to the decentralization of training and research by creating the
To create new technologies from research in mechanics, especially for the automotive industry, he founded the Institut Maupertuis in Rennes in 2003. Processing technology with the laser is studied, particularly for the reduction of vehicle weight.
He has a membership of the French Academy of Sciences and of the Académie des Technologies (Academy of Technologies).
Works
Jean Robieux is responsible for the discovery of the principle of control of laser fusion in 1961 and the discovery of the principle of laser isotope separation, and the creation of elementary particles by laser. All contributions are outlined in his book « High Power Laser Interactions : Isotopes Separation - Nuclear Fusion Control - Elementary Particles Selective Creation ». He obtained the realization of a neodymium-doped laser emitting 500 joules in 30 ns, 30 times more powerful than lasers built in the world at that time. He carries out experiments to demonstrate the principle possibility of issuing average powers exceeding 1 MW. They open the way for the laser weapon in 1967. Using a laser made by the research center in Marcoussis, CEA Limeil produced in 1969 for the first time ever in a reproducible, neutrons during the interaction laser / material, he allows then to pave the way towards the control of fusion. Today, Jean Robieux is involved in research on laser fusion.
