The invention relates to a laser ultrasonic detection apparatus, belonging to the technical field of laser ultrasonic detection. The apparatus comprises a detection laser source, a front light-splitting structure, a collecting structure, a double-photorefractive lens, (a) polaroid(s), (a) detector(s), a half-wave plate, a front polarization splitting prism, an acoustic-optical modulator, a back polarization splitting prism, a back light-splitting structure, a detected piece, a laser ultrasonic excitation source, a beam-expanding structure, a bidirectional tunable aperture and a focusing mirror. The apparatus is capable of carrying out wide-range laser ultrasonic detections and the speed of the laser ultrasonic detection can be greatly raised. A linear ultrasonic excitation source is adopted to carrying out the excitation, enabling ultrasonic fields of each monitoring point to have the same distribution, and thus solving the problem that the ultrasonic intensity at each collecting point is inconsistent with each other when circular laser spots are adopted to excite the ultrasound. The apparatus has fast surface-scanning speed and high detection efficiency, and is very practical.
