About Microwatt per square metre
The microwatt per square metre (µW/m²) equals 10⁻⁶ W/m². Encountered in geothermal science - deep crustal heat flux measurements in stable shield regions can reach a few µW/m² - and in bio-electromagnetic research for very low intensity radiation fields. 1 µW/m² = 10⁻⁶ W/m² = 10³ nW/m².
About Watt per square centimetre
The watt per square centimetre (W/cm²) equals exactly 10⁴ W/m². A practical unit in laser physics, plasma engineering, and nuclear thermal hydraulics. Nuclear fuel cladding heat flux ≈ 1-5 W/cm²; laser diodes ≈ 10-100 W/cm²; focused CO₂ laser cutting ≈ 10⁴ W/cm². 1 W/cm² = 10⁴ W/m² = 10 kW/m².
