catch short pulse

I am wondering whether it is practical to catch a
1 ns pulse, no matter by what means? The method
should be able to tell the time length of a
pulse...

For example, an integrator, it can reasonablly tell me that I catch a 1 us or 2 uS pulse by checking its
output.

I am really doubting it is feasible to reliably catch 1 ns or 0.5 ns ns? The problem has several factes: 1. how fast the component has to be? how to avoid those parasitics from PCB board?

Anyway, what is a relaible and feasible way of doing that is that is possible?

I know my question is kinda of geenral, but it is really interesting to me.

Thank you very much for making comments
