We introduce a new technique for manipulating silica gel particles suspended in a water-based solution using a stable mode-locked fiber laser (MDFL). We coated a side-polished fiber (SPF) with Au-NP which acts as a saturable absorber (SA). A stable MDFL was achieved at an operating wavelength of 15...
