Abstract

See full text

Exemplary embodiments of an apparatus are provided. For example, the exemplary apparatus can include at least one first arrangement providing at least one first electro-magnetic radiation to a sample, at least one second electro-magnetic radiation to a first reference and at least one third electro-magnetic radiation to a second reference. A frequency of radiation provided by the first arrangement generally varies over time. The exemplary apparatus may also include at least one second arrangement which is configured to detect a first interference between at least one fourth electro-magnetic radiation associated with the first electro-magnetic radiation and at least one fifth electro-magnetic radiation associated with the second radiation. The second arrangement is also configured to detect a second interference between at least one sixth electro-magnetic radiation associated with the first electro-magnetic radiation and at least one seventh electro-magnetic radiation associated with the third radiation.
