Provided is a light detection and ranging (LiDAR)-based inspection device including an ultrafast pulse source configured to generate a first ultrafast pulse and a second ultrafast pulse each having a pulse width ranging from 1 fs to 100 fs, a stage configured to generate a gating signal by adjusting a distance of flight of the first ultrafast pulse, a dispersing device configured to generate a chirp signal, based on the second ultrafast pulse reflected from a specimen, the chirp signal including a plurality of pulses having different wavelengths, a nonlinear optical generator configured to generate a nonlinear optical signal based on the chirp signal and the gating signal, and a detector configured to detect the nonlinear optical signal, wherein the gating signal temporally overlaps with some of the plurality of pulses included in the chirp signal in the nonlinear optical generator.
