An apparatus and associated method using a light source selectively emitting an incident beam. A thin film is disposed in a path of and responsive to the incident beam to produce a reflected beam. A light-sensing probe is capable of detecting the reflected beam. Ambient environment logic responsive to the light-sensing probe compares a position of the reflected beam to an expected position to make a characteristic determination of a selected ambient environment through which the incident beam propagated.
