In a recent article [Phys. Rev. A 81, 037801 (2010)] a theory of light-induced atomic desorption for Rb in porous alumina is proposed. We point out that both the main assumption of this theory (the diffusion inside the pores treated as a random walk with the adsorption to the inner surface of the pores at any step) and several further hypotheses supporting the theoretical model require a revision.
