Convert femtosecond to nanosecond
Please provide values below to convert femtosecond [fs] to nanosecond [ns], or Convert nanosecond to femtosecond.
1 fs = 1e-06 ns. To convert femtosecond to nanosecond, multiply the value by 1e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ns = 1000000 fs). Both units measure time and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 fs = 1e-06 ns
- 1 ns = 1000000 fs
- 10 fs = 1e-05 ns
- 100 fs = 0.0001 ns
How to Convert Femtosecond to Nanosecond
1 fs = 1e-06 ns
Example: convert 15 fs to ns:
15 fs = 15 × 1e-06 ns = 1.5e-05 ns

Femtosecond
A femtosecond (fs) is a unit of time equal to 10^-15 seconds, or one quadrillionth of a second.
History/Origin
The femtosecond was introduced in the 20th century with advancements in ultrafast laser technology, enabling measurement and manipulation of phenomena occurring on extremely short timescales.
Current Use
Femtoseconds are used in fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology to study ultrafast processes like chemical reactions, electron dynamics, and laser pulse durations.
Nanosecond
A nanosecond is a unit of time equal to one billionth of a second (10^-9 seconds).
History/Origin
The concept of the nanosecond emerged with the development of high-precision time measurement in the 20th century, particularly with advancements in electronics and computing technology that required measuring extremely short time intervals.
Current Use
Nanoseconds are used in various fields such as computing (e.g., measuring processor speeds and memory access times), telecommunications, and scientific research to quantify very short durations.
