What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you transform power values from nanojoule per second (nJ/s) to picojoule per second (pJ/s), enabling precise representation of extremely small power levels commonly used in microelectronics, photonics, and IoT devices.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the power value in nanojoule per second (nJ/s) you want to convert
-
Select 'nanojoule/second [nJ/s]' as the input unit
-
Choose 'picojoule/second [pJ/s]' as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent power in picojoule per second
-
Use the converted value for precise power level representation in your application
Key Features
-
Supports conversion between nanojoule/second and picojoule/second units of power
-
Based on the exact conversion rate of 1 nJ/s = 1000 pJ/s
-
Ideal for measuring ultra-low power consumption and optical power
-
Browser-based and straightforward interface for quick calculations
Examples
