What is a dekawatt (daW)?

A dekawatt (daW) is a metric unit of power equal to 10 watts, representing energy transfer or work done per unit time.

What does nanojoule per second (nJ/s) measure?

Nanojoule per second (nJ/s) measures power equivalent to one nanowatt, indicating very small continuous power levels.

Why convert from dekawatt to nanojoule/second?

This conversion helps express moderate power levels in extremely fine units, enabling detailed analysis in microelectronics and photonics.
