About International table calorie per second per square centimetre
The international table calorie per second per square centimetre (cal(IT)/(s·cm²)) equals exactly 41868 W/m² (1 cal(IT) = 4.1868 J; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). The IT variant of the high-flux CGS unit, slightly larger than the thermochemical counterpart due to the IT calorie definition. 1 cal(IT)/(s·cm²) = 41868 W/m².
About Milliwatt per square centimetre
The milliwatt per square centimetre (mW/cm²) equals exactly 10 W/m² (1 mW = 10⁻³ W; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). Widely used in photonics, laser safety standards (IEC 60825), and UV dosimetry. Solar irradiance at Earth's surface ≈ 100 mW/cm². 1 mW/cm² = 10 W/m² = 0.001 W/cm².
