Convert femtowatt to attowatt
Please provide values below to convert femtowatt [fW] to attowatt [aW], or Convert attowatt to femtowatt.
1 fW = 1000 aW. To convert femtowatt to attowatt, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aW = 0.001 fW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 fW = 1000 aW
- 1 aW = 0.001 fW
- 10 fW = 10000 aW
- 100 fW = 100000 aW
How to Convert Femtowatt to Attowatt
1 fW = 1000 aW
Example: convert 15 fW to aW:
15 fW = 15 × 1000 aW = 15000 aW

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.
Attowatt
An attowatt (aW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The attowatt is part of the SI prefix system introduced to denote very small quantities, with 'atto-' representing 10^-18. It has been used mainly in scientific contexts to measure minuscule power levels.
Current Use
The attowatt is rarely used in practical applications but may be referenced in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics or nanotechnology.
