QE65 Pro Data Sheet
Description
The Ocean Optics QE65 Pro Spectrometer provides enhanced response in the UV and shortwave NIR
regions over its predecessor, the QE65000, to offer unmatched performance for low-light level
applications such as fluorescence, Raman analysis and DNA sequencing. The QE65 Pro includes the
linear CCD-array optical bench, plus all the circuits necessary for spectrometer operation. The result is
a compact, flexible system, with no moving parts, that's easily integrated as an OEM component.

The QE65 Pro spectrometer is a unique combination of technologies providing users with both an
unusually high spectral response and high optical resolution in a small footprint. The electronics have
been designed for considerable flexibility in connecting to various modules as well as external
interfaces. The QE65 Pro interfaces to PCs, PLCs and other embedded controllers through USB 2.0 or
RS-232 communications. The information included in this data sheet provides detailed instructions on
the connection and operation of the QE65 Pro.
The detector used in the QE65 Pro spectrometer is a scientific-grade, back-thinned, TE Cooled (TEC),
1044x64 element CCD array from Hamamatsu (product number S7031-1006). For complete details on
this detector, visit www.Hamamatsu.com.
The QE65 Pro operates from power provided through the USB (without TEC operation), or from a
separate + 5VDC power supply. The QE65 Pro is a microcontroller-controlled spectrometer, thus all
operating parameters are implemented through software interfacing to the unit.
