Description
We measured the reflectance spectra (from 0.5 to 4.2 µm) of powders of olivine, pyroxene, a smectite-rich material, and amorphous silica. The powders were grinded and sieved and the spectra of four size fractions were measured: 100-200 µm, 50-100 µm, 0-50 µm, and sub-micrometer sized grains. In addition, porous surfaces of the latter grains were produced by mixing them with water ice and sublimating the ice.

Comments
The spectro-radio-goniometer SHINE was used in Gognito mode, as described in Potin et al. (2018, https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.57.008279), section D.2. The illumination beam was focused on an area of 6 mm in diameter on the sample, in order to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of our measurements.
