This study introduces gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) coated on side-polished fiber (SPF) as a saturable absorber (SA) material in the development of a mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL). The measurements were taken at various Au-NP thicknesses of 10, 20, 30, and 40 nm. The SPF was coated with...
