What does an attowatt measure?

An attowatt measures extremely small power levels equal to 10^-18 watts, often used in fields needing ultra-sensitive power detection.

Why convert attowatts to decijoules per second?

This conversion helps express extremely small power levels from scientific instruments into a standard SI-derived unit that is more practical for small but measurable power values.

In which fields is this conversion useful?

It is widely used in nanoelectronics, ultra-sensitive photonics, cryogenic detection, experimental physics, astronomy, and low-power electronics design.
