   Well I was thinking of using slit-style apertures in front of the (BPW43)   
   Photodiodes in order to optimize its efficiency, but that would prevent   
   rotating them. Anyhow, this is not much of an issue since adjusting the   
   distance between the photodiodes and    
   a diverging lens does the trick as well

   Indeed   
      
   I have started to design a circuit, partly based on the article previously   
   mentioned and your parallel wiring proposal of the diodes, if you may confirm   
   this is what you meant:
