Convert nanowatt to femtowatt
Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to femtowatt [fW], or Convert femtowatt to nanowatt.
1 nW = 1000000 fW. To convert nanowatt to femtowatt, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fW = 1e-06 nW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nW = 1000000 fW
- 1 fW = 1e-06 nW
- 10 nW = 10000000 fW
- 100 nW = 100000000 fW
How to Convert Nanowatt to Femtowatt
1 nW = 1000000 fW
Example: convert 15 nW to fW:
15 nW = 15 × 1000000 fW = 15000000 fW

Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
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.
