What is the conversion rate from nanowatt to picojoule per second?

1 nanowatt (nW) equals 1000 picojoule per second (pJ/s).

Why convert from nanowatt to picojoule/second?

Converting to picojoule per second allows for more precise representation of very small power levels, useful in microelectronics and photonics.

Does this conversion change the actual power measurement?

No, it only changes the unit scale; the physical measurement remains the same.
