The invention discloses an LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) detecting device and a detecting method thereof. The device comprises a laser, a wavelength switching filter disc, a detector, an amplifier and a processor, wherein the laser, the wavelength switching filter disc, the detector, the amplifier and the processor are integrally mounted on one instrument board; the output end of the detector is connected with the input end of the processor after passing through the amplifier; two input ends of the processor are respectively connected with a computer and a stepper motor; the stepper motor is connected with the wavelength switching filter disc through a shaft connector. The device adopts a distributive feedback laser with 1668 nm of wave band as a light source, and uses an infrared spectroscopy method to detect the methane absorption peak; the reflected laser has obvious features; the detecting method is a quick and precise method for detecting gas at present, and can detect the concentration of the LNG in the range of 1.6-100%; the detecting device can be mounted on a helicopter or a fixed wing aircraft to totally realize the actual field detection, has high laser strength and far detecting distance, and can implement the all-weather detection.
