The present invention relates to a photoacoustic diagnostic apparatus and method using a combination of laser beams having a single wavelength, and more particularly, to a photoacoustic diagnostic apparatus and method that facilitates miniaturization of a photoacoustic apparatus by emitting a combination of laser beams having a single wavelength to a subject. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a photoacoustic diagnostic apparatus may comprise: a light source for emitting, to a subject, light formed by combining laser beams having a single wavelength; a detection unit for acquiring sound emitted by the light; and a control unit for calculating the blood glucose concentration in the blood of the subject by analyzing the sound. 本发明涉及使用具有单波长的激光组合的光声诊断设备和方法，并且更具体地，涉及通过向受试者发射具有单波长的激光束的组合来促进光声设备小型化的光声诊断设备和方法。根据本发明的一个实施方式，光声诊断设备可以包括：光源，该光源用于向受试者发射通过将具有单波长的激光束组合而形成的光；检测单元，该检测单元用于获取由光发出的声音；以及控制单元，该控制单元用于通过分析声音来计算受试者血液中的血糖浓度。
