The ability to use a wide range of wavelengths for deep penetration is important in order to target or avoid absorption bands of the biological media. By utilizing the nonlinear optical effect in the scattering bio-soft-matter, we demonstrate the self-trapping and guiding of light in sheep red blood cell suspensions for a range of different wavelengths. By pump-probe type coupling, biological waveguides formed at one wavelength can effectively guide a wide spectrum of light at low power. Finally, we investigate propagation and guiding of non-Gaussian beams in biological suspensions.
