What is an erg per second?

An erg per second is a CGS unit of power equivalent to one erg of energy transferred every second; it equals 10⁻⁷ watts.

Why convert erg/second to nanojoule/second?

Converting allows translation from older astrophysical units to very small power units applicable in microelectronics and photonics.

What is the conversion rate from erg/second to nanojoule/second?

1 erg/second equals 100 nanojoule/second.
