Agreed, it looks like the OPA354 is part of the problem. Maybe if it starts working well the LM2904 might start looking better.
Is Cd are real capacitor or just representative of the capacitance of the photodiode?
A guess is that the OPA354 is operating too close to ground. Please try this:
1. Remove the LM2904 from the circuit.
2. Disconnect the photodiode and if Cd is a discreet capacitor, remove it too.
3. Make sure there is a 47 pf capacitor across RF
4. Bias the non-inverting input to the OPA354 to half of Vs as shown in the circuit below, but also put a 10 uf capacitor from the noninverting input to ground.
What do you see? The answer should be +2.5 volts and not much else.
