It is proposed to elucidate the origin and properties of the               frequency-shifted conical emission and breakup of laser pulses                  into solitary waves observed in laser-driven atomic and molecular               vapors.  The studies bear on current issues of wave propagation                 in nonlinear media and departures from the adiabatic                            approximation of quantum mechanics.  Topics include:  (1)                       completion of the study of conical emission and pulse breakup in                two level systems under condition of moderate self-focusing, (2)                similar studies in multilevel systems, (3) studies of the effects               on possible laser isotope separation processes, (4) similar                     studies under conditions of strong self-focusing, and (5)                       investigations of the possibility of intrinsic optical bi                       stability in an atomic vapor.
