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

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.
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.
