You have to ensure the target would respond differently to the different frequencies

Would a diffraction grating work? I've long been interested in splitting sunlight into its UV and visible rays separately.

Yes, as long as the material passes UV

They used to use crystalline quartz prisms- which makes life interesting because quartz is chiral. They had to make the prism out of two pieces o quartz, one left handed and the other  right.
I think reflective diffraction gratings are common now.

Yes, but you might need some sort of "order sorting filter"
