A system and method for imaging of a sample, e.g., biological sample, are
provided. In particular, at least one source electro-magnetic radiation
forwarded to the sample and a reference may be generated. A plurality of
detectors may be used, at least one of the detectors capable of detecting
a signal associated with a combination of at least one first
electro-magnetic radiation received from the sample and at least one
second electro-magnetic radiation received from the reference. At least
one particular detector may have a particular electrical integration
time, and can receive at least a portion of the signal for a time
duration which has a first portion with a first power level greater than
a predetermined threshold and a second portion immediately preceding or
following the first portion. The second portion may have a second power
level that is less than the predetermined threshold, and extends for a
time period which may be, e.g., approximately more than 10% of the
particular electrical integration time.
