What does erg/second measure?

Erg per second is a power unit from the CGS system representing one erg of energy transferred each second, commonly used in astrophysics.

Where is picojoule/second used?

Picojoule per second indicates very low continuous power levels, often in microelectronics and photonics applications.

How do I convert erg/s to pJ/s?

Multiply the value in erg/s by 100000 to get the equivalent power in picojoule per second.
