1. A system that facilitates detection of a target material, comprising: an illumination component for directing photon energy of a predetermined wavelength at a target object, which target object is associated with a material of interest, and which photon energy causes a detectable change in light frequency to occur in the material of interest at or near the target object; and a detection component for detecting the change in light frequency by imaging change data and facilitating notification of the detected change to a user.
