Convert attojoule/second to microwatt
Please provide values below to convert attojoule/second [aJ/s] to microwatt [µW], or Convert microwatt to attojoule/second.
1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-12 µW. To convert attojoule/second to microwatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µW = 1e+12 aJ/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-12 µW
- 1 µW = 1e+12 aJ/s
- 10 aJ/s = 1.0000e-11 µW
- 100 aJ/s = 1.0000e-10 µW
How to Convert Attojoule/second to Microwatt
1 aJ/s = 1e-12 µW
Example: convert 15 aJ/s to µW:
15 aJ/s = 15 × 1e-12 µW = 1.5e-11 µW

Attojoule/second
An attojoule per second (aJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion of one attojoule (10^-18 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The attojoule is a relatively recent SI prefix introduced to measure extremely small quantities of energy, and its use in power units like aJ/s has emerged with advancements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, though it remains a specialized unit with limited historical usage.
Current Use
The aJ/s is used in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics, nanotechnology, and energy transfer studies at the atomic or molecular scale.
Microwatt
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attojoule/second in microwatt?
1 attojoule/second (aJ/s) = 1.0000e-12 microwatt (µW).
How do you convert attojoule/second to microwatt?
