contents We study the dynamical light emission from few-photon Fock states in waveguide-QED with a chiral two-level system. We first investigate the time dynamics of the system by calculating the emitter population and illustrate the breakdown of the weak excitation approximation, for both 1-photon and 2-photon excitation. We show how a 1-photon pulse yields a transmitted long-time spectrum that is identical to the input pulse, despite significant population effects. However, the dynamical spectra and spectral intensity show rich population effects. We also show the differences between 1-photon and 2-photon excitation, where the latter shows clear signatures of nonlinear saturation effects. Analytical and numerically exact matrix product state solutions are shown.
