Abstract
The conservation of optical properties as a beam propagates through a scattering media is important to creating more complex optically induced structures and the transmission of high bandwidth information. By utilizing the nonlinear optical effect in the scattering bio-soft-matter, we investigate the conservation of polarization and orbital angular momentum through self-trapping and pump/probe coupled waveguides of light in sheep red blood cell suspensions at 532 nm and 780nm wavelengths. The ability to maintain these properties after multiple scattering events may lead to improvements in communication bandwidth with low loss.
