Convert nanojoule/second to microwatt
Please provide values below to convert nanojoule/second [nJ/s] to microwatt [µW], or Convert microwatt to nanojoule/second.
1 nJ/s = 0.001 µW. To convert nanojoule/second to microwatt, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µW = 1000 nJ/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 nJ/s = 0.001 µW
- 1 µW = 1000 nJ/s
- 10 nJ/s = 0.01 µW
- 100 nJ/s = 0.1 µW
How to Convert Nanojoule/second to Microwatt
1 nJ/s = 0.001 µW
Example: convert 15 nJ/s to µW:
15 nJ/s = 15 × 0.001 µW = 0.015 µW

Nanojoule/second
A nanojoule per second (nJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one nanojoule of energy per second.
History/Origin
The nanojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'nano' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It is used in contexts requiring very small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering fields.
Current Use
The nJ/s is used in scientific research, nanotechnology, and precise energy transfer measurements where extremely low power levels are involved, often in the context of nanoscale systems or experiments.
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 nanojoule/second in microwatt?
1 nanojoule/second (nJ/s) = 0.001 microwatt (µW).
How do you convert nanojoule/second to microwatt?
Multiply the nanojoule/second value by 0.001. For example, 25 nJ/s × 0.001 = 0.025 µW.
What is 10 nanojoule/second in microwatt?
10 nJ/s = 0.01 µW.
Which unit is larger, the nanojoule/second or the microwatt?
The microwatt is the larger unit: 1 nJ/s equals only 0.001 µW.
