> 1 joule/square meter = 16.68 mw-s/10,000 sq cm  =  .001668 mw-s/sq cm
 
If I remember my high-school physics:

1 Watt is defined as 1 Joule / Sec, or conversely 1 Watt-Sec = 1 Joule

1000 mWatt-Sec = 1 Watt-Sec = 1 Joule

1 Joule / M^2 = 1 Watt-Sec / M^2 = 1000 mWatt-Sec / M^2 ( where '^2' means 'squared' )

10000 cM^2 = 1 M^2. ( where '^2' means 'squared' )

1 Joule / M^2 = 1000 mWatt-Sec / 10000 cM^2 = 0.1 mWatt-Sec / cM^2
