This paper is a tribute to a great scientist and an authentic “honest man” that was Jean Lavorel (1928–2021). He was a pioneer in research on the primary events of photosynthesis in algae, plants, and photosynthetic bacteria. He focused his attention on chlorophyll fluorescence and luminescence, and also on oxygen evolution, both experimentally (with laboratory-built refined apparatus) and theoretically. Many of his results are classical now. Besides a survey of his main achievements, most of them obtained by him alone, different reminiscences on the researcher and the person he was illustrate the rich personality of Jean Lavorel.

这篇论文是对一位伟大的科学家和一位真正的“诚实人”的致敬，他是让·拉沃雷尔 (Jean Lavorel，1928-2021)。他是研究藻类、植物和光合细菌的主要光合作用事件的先驱。他将注意力集中在叶绿素荧光和发光，以及氧气的释放上，无论是在实验上（使用实验室制造的精密仪器）还是在理论上。他的许多结果现在都是经典的。除了对他的主要成就的调查，大部分都是他一个人获得的，对研究人员和他本人的不同回忆说明了让·拉沃雷尔的丰富个性。
