Реферат: Provided and described herein are exemplary embodiments of apparatus, system, computer-accessible medium, procedure and method according to the present disclosure which can be used for providing laser steering and focusing for, e.g., incision, excision and/or ablation of tissue in minimally-invasive surgery. For example, an exemplary apparatus is provided that can include at least one optical element which can be configured to refract and/or diffract light provided in a structure which can be configured to be inserted into a body, where at least one of the optical element(s) is structured to receive the light at a first angle and generate a refracted and/or diffracted light at a second angle which can be different from the first angle relative to an optical axis. According to a particular exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to control a light propagating arrangement to (i) provide the at least one light toward the optical element(s) at the first angle, and (ii) change a position thereof within the structure(s) to change the first angle.
