Question regarding the photodiode model. Just to clarify in my mind, if a photodiode has no biasing voltage across it, i.e. it is operated under short circuit condition using a transimpedance amplifier, theoretically there is no leakage or dark current. Thus the shunt resistance could be considered infinite or at least larger that that quoted in datasheets where a 10mv reverse bias voltage. Am I write in saying this?
