Resumen: The one- and two-photon scattering matrix S is obtained analytically for a one-dimensional waveguide and a pointlike scatterer with N excited levels (generalized V-type atom). We argue that the two-photon scattering matrix contains sufficient information to distinguish between different level structures which are equivalent for single-photon scattering, such as a V atom with N=2 excited levels and two two-level systems. In particular, we show that the scattering with the V-type atom exhibits a destructive interference effect leading to two-photon coupled-resonator-induced transparency, where the nonlinear part of the two-photon scattering matrix vanishes when each incident photon fulfills a single-photon condition for transparency.
