  • APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ENDOSCOPIC HIGH-SPEED OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY
    Publication number: 20090225324
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of an apparatus can be provided which can include at least one first arrangement which is configured to generate a magnetic field. Further, the exemplary apparatus can include at least one second arrangement coupled to the first arrangement(s) and configured to receive at least one first electro-magnetic radiation from a sample to generate at least one second electro-magnetic radiation. The second arrangement(s) can include at least one surface that is at least partially reflective, and the magnetic field can control a motion of the at least one surface. At least one third interferometric arrangement can also be provided which is configured to receive the second electro-magnetic radiation(s) from the second arrangement(s) and at least one third electro-magnetic radiation from a reference. Further, it is possible for the second electro-magnetic radiation(s) to effect a structure of the sample.
