I really don't know about the conversion.

But if you want to learn about the fundamental and derived Standard 
International Units of  Measurement, here is the link:

"Guide for the Use of the International System of Units (SI)"
http://physics.nist.gov/Pubs/SP811/
in PDF form and offering other related documents, such as how uncertainty 
in measurements is done:

Hmm let's see now:

Power, watts (W)   is derived from basic units and is;   m2 · kg · s-3

The decimal table shows:

10-6 = (103)-2   micro µ

So we could have micro-watts. But no unit of miceowatts is mentioned.

AHAH!  Clearly, this is an area of needed new research. I have a friend 
who's now involved in developing the National Measurement System.  I'll 
alert him immediately about this.
