Considering the exciton-biexciton coherence, we analytically study the linear absorption and nonlinear propagation properties of the probe and signal field in a semiconductor quantum dot. It is found that in the linear case, in the system takes place an electromagnetically induced transparency phenomenon. Furthermore, we obtain that in the system there occurs one- or two-transparency window, or optical gain, which is controlled by adjusting the coupling control field. For the nonlinear case, the weak probe field, which is induced by a signal field, splits into two parts. When their excited self-Kerr and cross-Kerr nonlinear effects balance the refractive effect of the beam, the system exhibits bright-bright, bright-dark, dark-bright, dark-dark soliton pairs.
