Abstract
A method for targeting includes illuminating an object, receiving reflected energy of a first wavelength, converting the reflected energy into an energy of a second wavelength, and detecting the energy of a second wavelength. A system for targeting includes a convertor having a first side and a second side, the convertor constructed to convert energy incident upon the first side at a first wavelength to energy passing through the second side at a second wavelength, and a sensor detecting the energy of the second wavelength.
