Claim:
1. A liquid filter system comprising: a housing wherein the housing comprises an inlet and an outlet, and the housing permits a passage of a laser beam generated by a laser generator; and a colloidal suspension solution including a first plurality of silicon nanoclusters, wherein the colloidal suspension solution is disposed within the housing, wherein the first plurality of silicon nanoclusters in the colloidal suspension solution have a first oxygen level, and wherein the first plurality of silicon nanoclusters in the colloidal suspension solution are configured to filter the laser beam absorbing energy from the laser beam at a first wavelength and transmitting energy at a second wavelength; wherein the colloidal suspension solution further includes a second plurality of amorphous silicon nanoclusters having a second level of oxygen that is different than the first level of oxygen, wherein the second plurality of amorphous silicon nanoclusters is added to the colloidal suspension solution to adjust the total oxygen level and therefore the absorption spectrum of the colloidal suspension solution, and wherein the housing is configured to circulate the colloidal suspension solution within or through the housing to dissipate heat released from the laser beam.
