Convert deciwatt to femtowatt
Please provide values below to convert deciwatt [dW] to femtowatt [fW], or Convert femtowatt to deciwatt.
1 dW = 1.0000e+14 fW. To convert deciwatt to femtowatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e+14; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fW = 1.0000e-14 dW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 dW = 1.0000e+14 fW
- 1 fW = 1.0000e-14 dW
- 10 dW = 1.0000e+15 fW
- 100 dW = 1.0000e+16 fW
How to Convert Deciwatt to Femtowatt
1 dW = 100000000000000 fW
Example: convert 15 dW to fW:
15 dW = 15 × 100000000000000 fW = 1.5e+15 fW

Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
Femtowatt
A femtowatt (fW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-15 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The femtowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very small quantities of power, particularly in scientific and technological contexts, gaining recognition as the need to quantify minute power levels grew.
Current Use
Femtowatts are used in fields such as quantum physics, nanotechnology, and optical measurements, where precise measurement of extremely low power levels is required.
