• Abstract: Resonance fluorescence of two-level quantum systems has emerged as a powerful tool in quantum information processing. Extension of this approach to higher-level systems provides new opportunities for quantum optics applications. Here we introduce a coherent driving scheme of a three-level ladder system utilizing Autler-Townes and ac Stark effects by resonant excitation with two laser fields. We propose theoretically and demonstrate experimentally the feasibility of this approach towards all-optical spectral tuning of quantum dot-based single-photon sources and investigate photon indistinguishability and purity levels. Our tuning technique allows for fast optical control of the quantum emitter spectrum which paves the way towards temporal and spectral shaping of the single photons, formation of topological Floquet states or generation of high-dimensional frequency-encoded quantum states of light.
