Recently Rodriguez-Lara et al. [Opt. Express 21(10), 12888 (2013)] proposed a classical simulation of the dynamics of the nonlinear Rabi model by propagating classical light fields in a set of two photonic lattices. However, the nonlinear Rabi model has already been rigorously proven to be undefined by Lo [Quantum Semiclass. Opt. 10, L57 (1998)]. Hence, the proposed classical simulation is actually not applicable to the nonlinear Rabi model and the simulation results are completely invalid.
