Exemplary apparatus and method can be provided. For example, with at least one first arrangement, it is possible to provide at least one first radiation, which can impact at least one second arrangement that is provided in an optical path between the at least one first arrangement(s) and at least sample. The second arrangement can have at least one birefringent property, In addition, with at least one detector third arrangement, it is possible to receive at least one second radiation from at least one first portion of the second arrangement(s), and at least one third radiation from at least one second portion of the second arrangement(s). The second and third radiations can be associated with the first radiation(s). Using at least one computing fourth arrangement, it is possible to determine information regarding the first radiation(s) based on the second and third radiations.
