BROAD BAND 50MHz OPTICAL FIBER RECEIVER VERSION A
 

If the above circuit it still too slow, you can try this circuit. What it lacks in sensitivity it makes up for in speed. The circuit attaches a plastic fiber optic PIN photodiode assembly to a small box containing a small 3v battery and a standard BNC plug. When the box is plugged into to the input of an oscilloscope with a 50-ohm termination resistor, it can detect light pulse frequencies beyond 100MHz.
