Expressing average power in ultra-low-power sensors and energy-harvesting devices
-
Quantifying optical output of low-power LEDs and lasers at nanowatt scales
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use nanojoule/second units when working with ultra-low power or nanoscale devices for greater precision
-
Ensure stable measurements to avoid inaccuracies due to noise or rapid power fluctuations
-
Recognize the appropriate scale of power measurement based on your application context
Limitations
-
Measurement precision and environmental factors can affect readings at nanojoule/second levels
-
Conversion is linear but may not be meaningful if the power fluctuates rapidly or falls below detection limits
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 millijoule/second represent in watts?
-
1 millijoule/second equals 0.001 watts or 1 milliwatt, indicating the rate of energy transfer per second.
-
When should I convert from mJ/s to nJ/s?
-
Convert to nanojoule/second when measuring very small continuous power levels for ultra-low power electronics or nanoscale experiments.
-
Are there any challenges with using nanojoule/second units?
-
Yes, readings at nanojoule/second scale may be affected by instrument precision, environmental noise, and may be unreliable for rapidly fluctuating power.
