What Is This Tool?
This converter helps transform values between picojoule per second (pJ/s) and microjoule per second (µJ/s), units used to measure very small continuous power levels in fields like microelectronics and photonics.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the power value in picojoule per second (pJ/s) you want to convert
-
Choose picojoule/second as the from unit and microjoule/second as the to unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent value in microjoule per second (µJ/s)
Key Features
-
Fast conversion between picojoule/second and microjoule/second units
-
Supports power measurements commonly used in micro/nano scale electronics and optical systems
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
Examples
-
1000 pJ/s equals 0.001 µJ/s
-
500000 pJ/s equals 0.5 µJ/s
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying continuous power consumption of ultra-low-power microcontrollers and sensors
-
Measuring optical power in sensitive photonic detectors or single-photon systems
-
Describing power output from small energy-harvesting devices at micro-watt scale
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate measurements by using sensitive instruments suitable for low power levels
-
Express power in microjoule/second for more manageable values when dealing with very small powers
-
Use the conversion formula to maintain consistent units in reports or calculations
Limitations
-
Due to the tiny magnitude difference between units, noise and measurement accuracy can pose challenges
-
Sensitive equipment is required to effectively measure and convert these low power values
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is 1 picojoule per second in microjoule per second?
-
1 picojoule per second equals 0.000001 microjoule per second.
-
In what fields is converting pJ/s to µJ/s useful?
-
It is useful in micro/nanoelectronics, photonics, optical detector calibration, energy harvesting, and low-power sensor network design.
-
Why is sensitive instrumentation important for these conversions?
-
Because the power levels are extremely low, precise and noise-free measurements require specialized sensitive instruments.
Key Terminology
-
Picojoule/second [pJ/s]
-
A unit of power equal to 10⁻¹² joules per second, used to quantify extremely small continuous power levels.
-
Microjoule/second [µJ/s]
-
A unit of power equal to one microjoule per second, or 10⁻⁶ watts, representing very small continuous power levels.
-
Power
-
The rate at which energy is transferred or converted per unit of time.
