You didn't mention any timing requirements yet, besides saying that you want to catch a pulse. I think, it doesn't mecessarily involve measuring an exact pulse width. So how about some clarification?

We sent a pulse from 50 to 100ns duty cycle and 0.2-1µs period, and this puls we want to catch with a photodetector.

We want to use the SERDES because we want to read the signals in very fast. It is for a detection system...
