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

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.
Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 femtowatt in picowatt?
1 femtowatt (fW) = 0.001 picowatt (pW).
How do you convert femtowatt to picowatt?
Multiply the femtowatt value by 0.001. For example, 25 fW × 0.001 = 0.025 pW.
What is 10 femtowatt in picowatt?
10 fW = 0.01 pW.
Which unit is larger, the femtowatt or the picowatt?
The picowatt is the larger unit: 1 fW equals only 0.001 pW.
