Phosphorescence in a sentence as a noun

Are there any materials that produce phosphorescence when targeted with laser?

Well, phosphorescence or fluorescence are basically the same thing: light emission when going from an excited to non-excited state.

Perhaps they migrated there through evolutionary pressure, and/or there's phosphorescence that we didn't see because of our giant camera light.

But at any given instant in time, we can say “the molecule is in this state, so what function does it apply to inbound photons now.”Note also that I’m defining pigmentation here, not total appearance, so this ignores any fluorescence, phosphorescence, triboluminescence, Cherenkov radiation, etc. that the molecule also emits and which we perceive as light.
