Given the function $f(x)=2\cos^{2}x+2\sqrt{3}\sin x\cos x (x\in R)$.

(1) Find the interval(s) where the function $f(x)$ is monotonically increasing.

(2) In triangle $\Delta ABC$, the corresponding sides of internal angles $A$, $B$, $C$ are $a$, $b$, $c$ respectively. Given $f(A)=2$, $b=1$, and the area of $\Delta ABC$ is $\sqrt{3}$, find the value of side $a$.
