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

Picosecond
A picosecond is a unit of time equal to one trillionth of a second (10^-12 seconds).
History/Origin
The picosecond was introduced as a standard unit of time measurement in the 20th century, primarily used in physics and electronics to measure extremely short time intervals, especially in laser science and high-speed electronics.
Current Use
Picoseconds are used in fields such as physics, telecommunications, and electronics to measure ultrafast processes, signal delays, and the duration of events at the atomic and subatomic levels.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
