The multi-order quantum beating effect of three-photon temporal interference generated by three nondegenerate fluorescence sources is studied. The third-order temporal correlation function of three nondegenerate photons results from the superposition of two-photon and three-photon bunching, multi-order quantum beating and temporal interference of three-photon. The simulate results show strong quantum beating and photon bunching behavior. The visibility of interference pattern, and the switching between photon bunching and beating effect can be modulated by the frequency difference, bandwidth of photons and the relative time delay of detectors. Such controllable coherent signal has potential applications as router and logic gate in quantum communication and information processing. Keywords: Quantum optical, Quantum beating, Coherent optical effects
