    Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, method and system can be provided for obtaining information associated with at least one portion of a sample. For example, a temperature change can be caused in the portion of the sample. At least one first electro-magnetic radiation can be forwarded to a section near or in the portion of the sample. A deformation of the section can be identified at a plurality of depths as a function of (i) a phase of at least one second electro- magnetic radiation provided from the section, and/or (ii) a rate of change of the phase and/or an amplitude of the second electro-magnetic radiation. In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, method and system can be provided for controlling a temperature distribution in a sample. For example, an electro-magnetic radiation can be provided to the section in the sample at a particular wavelength. The temperature distribution can be controlled by modifying the particular wavelength of the electro-magnetic radiation when the electro-magnetic radiation is provided to the section.

    Abstract: Exemplary systems and processes for generating information associated with at least one portion of a sample are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, at least one electro-magnetic radiation can be received from the at least one portion, whereas the electro-magnetic radiation has a wavenumber that is between approximately 5,000 cm -1 and 600 cm -1 . The information can be generated which includes structural data, molecular data and/or chemical data of the portion. The information can be generated based on (a) at least one phase of the at least one electro-magnetic radiation, and/or (b) at least one refractive index of the at least one portion. According to another exemplary embodiment, the electro-magnetic radiation having a first wavenumber can be transmitted to the portion which has at least two substances, whereas a refractive index of one of the substances at a second wavenumber is approximately the same as a refractive index of another one of the substances at the second wavenumber. The electro-magnetic radiation can be controlled such that the first wavenumber substantially matches the first wavenumber to reduce scattering within the portion.
