Convert femtowatt to picojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert femtowatt [fW] to picojoule/second [pJ/s], or Convert picojoule/second to femtowatt.
1 fW = 0.001 pJ/s. To convert femtowatt to picojoule/second, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pJ/s = 1000 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 = 0.001 pJ/s
- 1 pJ/s = 1000 fW
- 10 fW = 0.01 pJ/s
- 100 fW = 0.1 pJ/s
How to Convert Femtowatt to Picojoule/second
1 fW = 0.001 pJ/s
Example: convert 15 fW to pJ/s:
15 fW = 15 × 0.001 pJ/s = 0.015 pJ/s

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.
Picojoule/second
A picojoule per second (pJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillionth of a joule per second, representing an extremely small rate of energy transfer.
History/Origin
The picojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'pico' denoting a factor of 10^-12. It has been used in scientific contexts requiring precise measurement of very small power levels, especially in fields like nanotechnology and low-power electronics.
Current Use
This unit is used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify extremely low power levels, such as in nanotechnology, bioelectronics, and other fields where minute energy transfer rates are relevant.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtowatt in picojoule/second?
1 femtowatt (fW) = 0.001 picojoule/second (pJ/s).
How do you convert femtowatt to picojoule/second?
Multiply the femtowatt value by 0.001. For example, 25 fW × 0.001 = 0.025 pJ/s.
