We present a scheme for realizing deterministic single-photon subtraction in a coupled single quantum dot-cavity solid-state system. The device consists of a charged quantum dot and its coupled bimodal photonic crystal cavity with a moderate magnetic field applied in a Voigt configuration. We numerically simulate injection of optical pulses into one of the cavity modes and show that the system deterministically transfers one photon into the second cavity mode for input pulses in the form of both Fock states and coherent states. This device has potential in the application of a compact and integrated solid-state based device for quantum information processing.
