The invention discloses a laser damage threshold and nonlinear absorption co-target-surface measuring device and method. The device comprises an ultrafast laser, an adjustable attenuation sheet, a shutter, a focusing lens, a first spectroscope, a first photoelectric detector, a to-be-measured sample, an electric control displacement table, a second spectroscope, a second photoelectric detector, abeam expander set, a CCD camera, a computer and a light beam quality analyzer, wherein the adjustable attenuation sheet, the shutter, the focusing lens, the first spectroscope, the to-be-measured sample, the second spectroscope, the beam expander set and the CCD camera are sequentially arranged in the laser output direction of the laser device; and the effective area of the laser focus is measuredby adopting the beam quality analyzer. In addition, the same focusing light field and image transmission method are adopted, it is ensured that a light source causing sample damage and a light sourceexciting sample nonlinear absorption have completely equal target surface light spot distribution, and the relation between laser damage and sample nonlinear absorption is further analyzed conveniently.
