:
microwatio
- As the gain volume approaches a fraction of a cubic wavelength in the material and as Beta approaches 1, threshold powers below 1 microwatt are expected for sufficiently high Q values.
- microwatt power
Examples
-
And that's actually what here, that's what these are that that's me going back and forth, basically shifting microwatts back and forth between you.
-
In the future, using microlasers with powers in the hundred-microwatt range and more sensitive receivers, much higher densities will be achievable.

It's a few microwatts or something like that.
-
Those experiments involved microwatts to milliwatts of power, corresponding to macroscopic numbers of photons.
Academic text (1999) -

Only when they are within the radio field of a transponder do they use that field energy (measured on the order of microwatts) to power their own internal circuits and then bounce their unique ID data stream back to the transponder for use in the greater system.

Also, because the material's response is wavelength dependent, solitons generated with microwatt powers can be used to guide and steer powerful (watts) beams at wavelengths in which the material is less photosensitive.
Academic text (1998) -
The device consumes just 10 microwatts of power, making it very energy efficient.
-
Solar cells can generate several hundred microwatts of electricity under optimal conditions.
-
Researchers measured the energy output in microwatts to evaluate the device's performance.

Etymology
The word microwatt combines the prefix micro- meaning 'small', like in microphone or microscope, with watt, the unit named after engineer James Watt meaning 'power'. So a microwatt is one millionth of a watt and describes a very tiny amount of electrical power.
