We present the theory of coherent optical spectroscopy for single quantum dot under the pump-probe driving. We generally study the line shapes, Mandel’s Q parameters, and few photon emission probabilities of single quantum dot system. The probe signals demonstrate the Autler-Townes splitting effect, and the first moment of our results confirms recent experimental results [ Xu et al. Science 317 929 (2007)]. We show that the pump and probe fields modify the emission photon statistical properties and control emission photon properties.
