I need to sense the fluorescence coming from chlorophyll in algae, so the outputted light is quite dim and hard to detect. I am using a transimpedance amplifier to boost this and make it a readable value. I took to using a photodiode (covered by a 680nm bandpass filter) - specifically the PDB-C154SM. With the assistance of Analog's Photodiode Design Tool, I put together a circuit after simulating it in LTSpice (see below) using the files the tool gave. Based on this, (to my best knowledge) I am pretty sure I made the circuit correctly. Vout in my schematic will be fed back to a Raspberry Pi Pico's ADC to read.

I've never messed a whole lot with analog designs, so this goes completely over my head, and have no clue if I'm even in the correct ballpark of what I need. If anyone would be willing to look over my simulations and schematics, that would be much appreciated- and thank you in advance.
