Spectrally-encoded endoscopy techniques, apparatus and methods

摘要

Exemplary apparatus for obtaining information for a structure can be provided. For example, the exemplary apparatus can include at least one first optical fiber arrangement which is configured to transceive at least one first electro-magnetic radiation, and can include at least one fiber. The exemplary apparatus can also include at least one second focusing arrangement in optical communication with the optical fiber arrangement. The second arrangement can be configured to focus and provide there through the first electro-magnetic radiation to generate the focused electro-magnetic radiation. Further, the exemplary apparatus can include at least at least one dispersive third arrangement which can receive a particular radiation (e.g., the first electro-magnetic radiation(s) and/or the focused electro-magnetic radiation), and forward a dispersed radiation thereof to at least one section of the structure.

主权项

1. An apparatus for obtaining information for a structure, comprising:
at least one first optical fiber arrangement configured to transceive at least one first electro-magnetic radiation, and including at least one fiber; at least one dispersive second arrangement configured to receive a particular radiation which is at least one of the at least one first electro-magnetic radiation, and forward a spectrally-dispersed radiation thereof to at least one section of the structure; and at least one focusing third arrangement in an optical communication with the at least one first optical fiber arrangement, wherein the at least one third arrangement is configured to focus and provide there through the spectrally-dispersed radiation to generate a focused electro-magnetic radiation, and wherein at least one end of the at least one fiber is connected to at least one of the at least one focusing third arrangement and or the at least one dispersive second arrangement.
