We discuss the exciting regime of "dynamical resonance florescence," which adds significant modification and fundamental control to the usual CW resonance florescence schemes such as the Mollow triplet, when using coherent pulses whose time duration is shorter than the inverse decay time of the emitter (quantum dot or two level system). We present two examples, including (i) semiconductor quantum dot cavity systems, where we also show recent experiments and simulations side by side,
and (ii) waveguide QED systems excited with single photon Fock states. We describe how the usual emission spectrum and intensity outputs are dynamically modified with short pulse excitation, and also demonstrate how single photon nonlinearies are uniquely accessed in this regime. These short-pulsed emission regimes
with dynamic driving of two-level emitters allow for the generation of a variety of exotic quantum states of light.
