An optical detection type ultrasonic receiving apparatus in which S/N ratio of the detection signal is increased while preventing the apparatus from increase of size and cost. The ultrasonic receiving apparatus includes a light source for generating broadband light, an ultrasonic detecting element including an ultrasonic sensing portion to perform intensity modulation of the light, a spectrum-separating unit for spectrum-separating the modulated light, a photo detecting unit having a plurality of photoelectric converting elements for detecting the spectrum-separated light for each of plural wavelength components to generate at least a first detection signal of a first wavelength component and a second detection signal of a second wavelength component, and processing unit for carrying out processing operation using the first detection signal and the second detection signal to obtain information about the ultrasonic wave received by the ultrasonic detecting element.
