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.
About Thermochemical calorie per second per square centimetre
The thermochemical calorie per second per square centimetre (cal(th)/(s·cm²)) equals exactly 41840 W/m² (1 cal(th) = 4.184 J; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). The CGS unit for very high heat flux: ablation heat flux during atmospheric re-entry ≈ 1-100 cal/(s·cm²). Used in plasma physics and aerospace thermal protection. 1 cal(th)/(s·cm²) = 41840 W/m².
