Systems and methods for receiving and/or analyzing information associated with electro-magnetic radiation

Abstract

According to an exemplary embodiment, a system can be provided which can have at least one fiber arrangement and at least one receiving arrangement. The fiber arrangement may have optical transmitting characteristics, and may be configured to transmit there through at least one electromagnetic radiation and forward the at least one electromagnetic radiation to at least one sample. At least one portion of the fiber arrangement may be composed of or can include therein sapphire, diamond, clear graphite, Chalcogenide, borosilicate, zirconium fluoride, silver halide, a liquid core light guide, a gas core light guide, a hollow core waveguide, and/or a solid core photonic crystal fiber. The receiving arrangement may be configured to receive the electromagnetic radiation that is filtered and received from the sample. According to another exemplary embodiment, a method can be provided for obtaining information associated with the sample. For example, at least one first electromagnetic radiation can be forwarded to the sample via at least one optical fiber. At least one first characteristic of at least one portion of the optical fiber can be controlled so as to modify at least one second characteristic of at least one second electromagnetic radiation generated within the optical fiber. The second electromagnetic radiation can be associated with the first electromagnetic radiation.
