Convert petawatt to attojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert petawatt [PW] to attojoule/second [aJ/s], or Convert attojoule/second to petawatt.
1 PW = 1.0000e+33 aJ/s. To convert petawatt to attojoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e+33; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-33 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 = 1.0000e+33 aJ/s
- 1 aJ/s = 1.0000e-33 PW
- 10 PW = 1.0000e+34 aJ/s
- 100 PW = 1.0000e+35 aJ/s
How to Convert Petawatt to Attojoule/second
1 PW = 1e+33 aJ/s
Example: convert 15 PW to aJ/s:
15 PW = 15 × 1e+33 aJ/s = 1.5e+34 aJ/s

Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
Attojoule/second
An attojoule per second (aJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion of one attojoule (10^-18 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The attojoule is a relatively recent SI prefix introduced to measure extremely small quantities of energy, and its use in power units like aJ/s has emerged with advancements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, though it remains a specialized unit with limited historical usage.
Current Use
The aJ/s is used in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics, nanotechnology, and energy transfer studies at the atomic or molecular scale.
