The invention relates to a wake flow bubble unit detection device. The invention belongs to the technical field of ship wake flow bubble detection. The device comprises a receiving window, a receivinglens, a receiving detector, a box body cover plate, a box body, a laser, a transmitting lens, a transmitting window, a sealing system, a power supply system, an inclination angle mechanism, a delayer, a data acquisition system and an industrial personal computer. A laser emits pulsed light which is collimated by an emission optical system and then irradiates bubbles in wake flow, and then back scattered light is focused on a unit linear APD focal plane through a receiving optical system; the laser power supply outputs a Q-switched trigger pulse, and after a certain time delay, the trigger unit APD works, so that the laser echo and the detector work synchronously. Even if the light spot shape is expanded and distorted at the edge, the received light is basically not distorted, and the uniformity of the image surface of the detector is very high. In addition, the purpose of detecting different distances can be achieved by adjusting the position of the detector.
