摘要： Exemplary apparatus and method can be availed for providing at least one electromagnetic radiation. For example, it is possible to provide at least one first electromagnetic radiation having a frequency that changes over time with a first characteristic period. Further, with at least one hardware arrangement, it is possible to receive and modify the first electromagnetic radiation(s) into at least one second electromagnetic radiation having a frequency that changes over time with a second characteristic period. The second characteristic period can be smaller than the first characteristic period. The hardware arrangement(s) can include a resonant cavity having a round-trip propagation time for the first electromagnetic radiation(s) that can be approximately the same as the first characteristic period.

摘要： According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, apparatus and method can be provided for obtaining information associated with at least one anatomical structure. The exemplary apparatus can include at least one first arrangement which can be configured to provide at least one electro-magnetic radiation to at least one portion of the at least one anatomical structure. The first arrangement(s) can include a configuration which is configured to relatively permanently attach the apparatus to or in the at least one anatomical structure. The exemplary apparatus can further include at least one interferometric arrangement configured to receive a further radiation from the portion(s) which can be associated with the electro-magnetic radiation(s).
