The invention relates to a digitalized measurement method and device for modulation delay of a light frequency modulator, and belongs to the technical field of photoelectric measurement. The device comprises a frequency stabilized laser, a polarizing film, a half wave plate, a light splitter, a frequency shifter, a reflector, a measured light frequency modulator, a modulation signal source, a reflector, a half-transparent and half-reflecting mirror, a polarizing film 11, a photoelectric detector, a digital oscilloscope, and an electronic computer. A measured object is the time delay between an excitation control signal of the light frequency modulator and a regulated and controlled light frequency signal. A heterodyning-type laser interferometry device is employed for obtaining laser frequency regulation and control signal waveform of the light frequency modulator, and converts a light signal into an electric signal. The method can achieve a good convergence effect, is higher in measurement accuracy, and is well adapted to the condition that the carrier is not steady and the amplitude envelope changes severely.
