Habéis sido y seréis siempre mi mayor apoyo. Gracias papá, gracias mamá. Ahora sí, gracias a mi familia profesional. En primer lugar, a mi “padre” Javi, por haber sabido supervisar mi trabajo dándome a la vez la libertad necesaria para poder comenzar una carrera investigadora. Gracias por tu infinita paciencia y por todo lo que me has enseñado: eres todo un ejemplo de profesionalidad. Quizás uno de los agradecimientos más sencillos, y al mismo tiempo más sinceros, es para mi “abuelo” Luis, quien depositó una confianza ciega en mí desde el primer momento y me dio la oportunidad de formar parte de este gran equipo. A mis “tíos”, Íñigo y Julio, les quiero agradecer su desinteresada ayuda en todo momento, especialmente en el trabajo de los últimos meses, y a mis “tías” Isabel y Ana por introducirme, junto con Viqui, en el mundo de la Óptica y más tarde en el de la enseñanza. También a Chuspi, quien supo transmitir con creces el entusiasmo por lo que hace y su pasión por la Física.

The process was performed by Nd3+:Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (YAG) picosecond laser using the following parameters: pulse duration 170 ps; repetition rate 10 Hz; pulse numbers of 50, 100 and 200; and wavelength of 1064 nm (with pulse energy of 2 mJ, 10 mJ and 15 mJ) and 532 nm (with pulse energy of 25 mJ, 30 mJ and 35 mJ). The following response characteristics were analyzed: modified surface areas obtained by the laser/material interaction were observed by scanning electron microscopy; elemental composition of the modified surface was evaluated by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS); and Vickers microhardness tests were performed.
