31. The present estimate of the SE cross section is about seven times smaller than that calculated from the size of the modal gain in single nanofiber, assuming an optical confinement of 1 %. Underestimation of the confinement factor, which may result from having neglected gain guiding effects, can explain the previous overestimation of the SE cross section [9],
