Quantum-dot microcavity systems are promising nanostructures for solid-state based on-demand generation of single photons. Commonly, the spectral properties, such as frequency and linewidth, of the emitted single photon are pre-determined by the characteristics of the system, such as electronic transition energies and spectral properties of the resonator. Here, we theoretically analyze the spectral properties of a single photon generated from partly stimulated non-degenerate two-photon transitions [1] in quantum-dot-based multilevel systems in different configurations. We demonstrate that frequency and linewidth of the single photon are determined by the external control beam [2], and thus can be all-optically controlled during the photon-creation process.
