Apodizer

Apodizer models the optical effects of an arbitrary apodizing filter, i.e. a multiplicative REAL AMPLITUDE transmittance factor, which can vary across the plane perpendicular to the direction of transmission. The apodization is applied by multiplying the complex field, i.e., intensity is scaled by apodization^2. The filter is specified by a parameter of type Grid<double>. See the LightLike User Guide for methods of creating and inputting Grid data types.
