What does one milliwatt represent?

One milliwatt is one thousandth of a watt and measures the rate of energy transfer equal to one joule per second.

Why convert milliwatts to picojoules per second?

Converting to picojoules per second allows expressing very small continuous power levels for applications in microelectronics and photonics.

Is this conversion useful for high-power devices?

No, this conversion is more suitable for ultra-low-power systems and is less practical for high-power applications.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter helps transform power measurements from milliwatts, a common electrical power unit, into picojoules per second, which measures extremely small power levels used in microelectronics and photonics.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in milliwatts you wish to convert.
Select milliwatt [mW] as the input unit and picojoule/second [pJ/s] as the output unit.
Click the convert button to see the result instantly.
Use the output to evaluate very small continuous power levels.

Key Features

Converts power values between milliwatt (mW) and picojoule/second (pJ/s).
Easy-to-use online interface for quick calculations.
Ideal for analyzing low power levels in electronics and photonics.
Supports precise measurement scaling in micro/nanoelectronics fields.

Examples

2 milliwatts equals 2,000,000,000 picojoules per second (2 × 1,000,000,000 pJ/s).
0.5 milliwatts equals 500,000,000 picojoules per second (0.5 × 1,000,000,000 pJ/s).

Common Use Cases

Calculating low power consumption of small electronic components like sensors and microcontrollers.
Measuring output power of devices such as laser diodes and photodiodes in photonics research.
Assessing continuous power draw in ultra-low-power microelectronics and ASICs.
Converting energy-per-operation rates into power for low-energy digital circuits.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify unit consistency when integrating converted values with other system measurements.
Use this converter for applications requiring fine-scale power resolution.
Rely on sensitive instrumentation to achieve accurate picojoule/second readings.
Apply conversions thoughtfully in low-power design optimization.

Limitations

Picojoule per second values represent extremely small power levels, requiring sensitive instruments for accurate measurement.
Conversion is less suitable for high-power scenarios where milliwatt or larger units are more practical.
Ensure unit consistency to avoid errors in system-level calculations.
