SSHG is related to the upper limit <strong>of</strong> photon count rate. TSHG, which we determined<br />

in section 7.2.4 based on our null detection:<br />

SSHG = nWTSHG, (7.21)<br />

where nw is the energy per photon.<br />

Equation (7.17) may be rewritten as<br />

(2) _ 'V (2)<br />

(- 1.-- 'J?)<br />

where Ns is the surface density <strong>of</strong> nanotubes. Note that Ns is the inverse <strong>of</strong> the<br />

area <strong>of</strong> a single nanotube. The calculation determines an upper limit <strong>of</strong> the hyper-<br />
