Nevertheless, these methods are based on a rudimentary interpretation of the spectral response and can be irrelevant to understanding 3D structures. In this work, we proposed adding optical modalities into a customized handheld probe head in order to increase the number of parameters in DRS acquired from the light\/matter interaction. It consists of (1) placing the sample in a reflectance manual rotation stage to collect spectral backscattered angularly resolved light and (2) illuminating it with two sequential linear polarization orientations. We demonstrate that this innovative approach leads to a compact instrument, capable of performing fast polarization-resolved spectroscopic analysis. Due to the significant amount of data available with this technique in a short time, we observe sensitive quantitative discrimination between two types of biological tissue provided by a raw rabbit leg. We believe that this technique can pave the way for rapid meat quality check or biomedical diagnosis of pathological tissues in situ at an early stage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23062911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,8]],"date-time":"2023-03-08T02:08:14Z","timestamp":1678241294000},"page":"2911","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Multiparametric Remote Investigation in the near-IR through Optical Fiber for In Situ Measurements"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2976-2183","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Letizia","family":"Fede","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Politecnico di Milano, 20133 Milano, Italy"},{"name":"CNRS, Institut FOTON, Universit\u00e9 de Rennes, UMR 6082, F-22305 Lannion, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gregory","family":"Lefrere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, Institut FOTON, Universit\u00e9 de Rennes, UMR 6082, F-22305 Lannion, France"},{"name":"CEA-Gramat, F-46500 Gramat, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7443-1231","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maroun","family":"Hjeij","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, Institut FOTON, Universit\u00e9 de Rennes, UMR 6082, F-22305 Lannion, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9925-1525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ronan","family":"Le Page","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, Institut FOTON, Universit\u00e9 de Rennes, UMR 6082, F-22305 Lannion, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6238-4191","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luiz","family":"Poffo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, Institut FOTON, Universit\u00e9 de Rennes, UMR 6082, F-22305 Lannion, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean-Marc","family":"Goujon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, Institut FOTON, Universit\u00e9 de Rennes, UMR 6082, F-22305 Lannion, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4281-7065","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aymeric Le","family":"Gratiet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CNRS, Institut FOTON, Universit\u00e9 de Rennes, UMR 6082, F-22305 Lannion, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1111\/1523-1747.ep12479191","article-title":"The optics of human skin","volume":"77","author":"Anderson","year":"1981","journal-title":"J.
