A picowatt (pW) is an SI-derived power unit equal to one trillionth of a watt, used for measuring extremely small power levels in sensitive experiments.

What does gigajoule per second measure?

Gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power representing one billion joules transferred per second, equivalent to one gigawatt, used for describing very large continuous power levels.

Why convert picowatts to gigajoules per second?

Converting from picowatts to gigajoules per second helps express extremely small power values in terms of very large units for comparison or scaling in scientific and engineering fields.
