The aim of this work was to evaluate the feasibility of the fabrication of microtextures in zirconia using the direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) technique. A green ultra-short pulsed laser (532 nm, 10 ps) with a two-beam interference setup was used to produce line-like structures with a spatial period of 3 µm. For a fixed set of fluence and pulse-to-pulse overlap values (6.2 J/cm ², 81%), periodic structures were successfully created for different hatch distances. The average depth of the features ranged from 0.37 µm for a hatch distance of 14.4 µm up to 0.84 µm for a hatch distance of 12.4 µm. However, a further decrease in hatch distance did not result in an increase in depth since the region of the ridges is also ablated. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed pores formation on the laser grooves, but no sign of micro-cracking could be observed. Wettability tests showed an increase in hydrophobicity after DLIP. These results bring exciting perspectives on the fabrication of micro-textures with DLIP on zirconia surface.
