Exemplary embodiments of systems and methods can be provided which can generate data associated with at least one sample. For example, using at least one first arrangement, it is possible to forward at least one first radiation to the sample(s) so as to cause at least one second radiation to be provided from the sample(s) that can be based on the first radiation(s). In addition, using at least one second arrangement, it is possible to receive the second radiation from the sample(s), generate a plurality of distinct measurements regarding at least one portion of the sample(s) based the second radiation(s), and characterize the portion(s) over a plurality of continuous resolvable depth points thereof which are associated with the distinct measurements. Further, the characterization of the at least one portion can be resolved and distinctly characterized at a number of the depth points which is greater than a number of the distinct measurements.

A method and apparatus for providing information associated with at least one portion of a sample can be provided. For example, at least one wavelength of electro-magnetic radiation provided on a sample can be encoded to determine at least one transverse location of the portion. A relative phase between at least one first electro-magnetic radiation electro-magnetic radiation being returned from a sample and at least one second electro-magnetic radiation returned from a reference can be obtained to determine at least one relative depth location of the portion. Further, the information of the portion can be provided based on the transverse location and the relative depth location. For example, the information can be depth information and/or three-dimensional information associated with the portion of the sample.

Exemplary embodiments of arrangements and methods providing information associated with a sample are described. For example, using such exemplary arrangements and methods, it is possible to receive an unpartitioned electro-magnetic radiation from the sample. Further, first data associated with first luminescent characteristics of at least one first molecule of the sample and second data associated with second luminescent characteristics of at least one second molecule of the sample can be obtained based on the unpartitioned electro-magnetic radiation. At least two of the photo-luminescent properties of the sample may be measured simultaneously as a function of the first and second data. Further, the information regarding the molecules of the sample may be determined as a function of the photo-luminescent properties.

Exemplary systems and processes for generating information associated with at least one portion of a sample are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, at least one electromagnetic radiation can be received from the at least one portion, whereas the electromagnetic radiation has a wavenumber that is between approximately 5,000 cm−1 and 600 cm−1. The information can be generated which includes structural data, molecular data and/or chemical data of the portion. The information can be generated based on (a) at least one phase of the at least one electromagnetic radiation, and/or (b) at least one refractive index of the at least one portion. According to another exemplary embodiment, the electromagnetic radiation having a first wavenumber can be transmitted to the portion which has at least two substances, whereas a refractive index of one of the substances at a second wavenumber is approximately the same as a refractive index of another one of the substances at the second wavenumber. The electromagnetic radiation can be controlled such that the first wavenumber substantially matches the first wavenumber to reduce scattering within the portion.

An exemplary apparatus and/or an exemplary method can be provided using which, it is possible (e.g., with at least one first arrangement) to measure an amplitude and/or a phase of at least one electromagnetic radiation provided from a particular portion of a sample. Further, it is possible (e.g., using at least one second arrangement) to scan a location of the particular portion along a path from a first point of the sample to a second point of the sample. In addition, it is possible to control the scan (e.g., with the second arrangement) such that the scan may comprise at least one first segment having a positive velocity and at least one segment having a negative velocity. A first distance of the first segment and/or the second segment can be smaller than a second distance between the first and second points.

Exemplary embodiments of apparatus, method and computer accessible medium can be provided which can facilitate a determination of at least one characteristic of a structure. For example, it is possible to use at least one first arrangement which can be structured to provide at least one first transmitted radiation along a first axis and at least one second transmitted radiation along a second axis. The first and second transmitted radiations can impact the structure and generate respective first and second returned radiation. The first and second axis can be provided at a predetermined angle with respect with one another which is greater than 0. Further, at least one second arrangement can be provided which can be configured to receive data associated with the first and second returned radiations, and determine at least one relative velocity between the structure and the first arrangement along the first and second axes.

Accordingly, exemplary embodiments of an apparatus probe catheter and method can be provided for irradiating a structure. In particular, an interferometer may forward forwarding an electromagnetic radiation. In addition, a sample arm may receive the electromagnetic radiation, and can include an arrangement which facilitates a production of at least two radiations from the electromagnetic radiation so as to irradiate the structure. Such exemplary arrangement can be configured to delay a first radiation of the at least two radiations with respect to a second radiation of the at least two radiations.
摘要:
Exemplary method, apparatus and arrangement can be provided for obtaining information associated with a sample such as a portion of an anatomical structure. The information can be generated using first data, which can be based on a signal obtained from a location on the sample, and second data, where the second data can be obtained by combining a second signal received from the sample with a third reference signal. An image of a portion of the sample can also be generated based on the information. For example, the first data can be associated with spectral encoding microscopy data, and the second data can be associated with optical coherence tomography data.
