Dean / Ray 
 
Dean,Good point on Ray's project.
I guess the question is to find out what you are trying to do, Ray.
 
That is, if you are attempting to measure time of flight of light you may  be 
talking an advanced project where specialized  hardware/ knowledge might be 
needed. 
 
Reference designs are a good place to start.
 
Yeah, breadboarding   in this range would be out.
 
Might suggest playing with sonar first. You will learn a good deal and  
sound's propagation rate is 1 millionth the speed of light. Master that first.  
Just Me Talking.
