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.We present the theory of coherent optical spectroscopy for single quantum dot under the pump-probe driving.
