We study Fano-like interference in double photon absorption, describing quantum beats in the second-order correlation function for both a free Λ-V system and a driven four-level scheme which approximately reproduces the first one in the dressed state picture. Because of interference, both amplitude and frequency of the beat oscillations are modified and (in some case) suppressed. In the case of the driven system, a partial coherent control of these features can be obtained, even in the presence of spontaneous emission for the driven transition.
