Apodization
'delete dicdef already on wikitionary. Melaen 12:35, 5 February 2006 (UTC) Apodization is a technique used in optics. It can be used to alter the effects of diffraction. Texts on Fourier optics often discuss this at length. A good article in Wikipedia which describes aspects of apodization as it relates to Fourier optics and diffraction would belong in an encyclopedia not a dictionary.

 * Keep but needs massive improvement. Is there no better process than AFD for finding people to fix articles like this?  Georgewilliamherbert 09:18, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand per Georgewilliamherbert. This could and should become more than a dictionary definition.  Logophile 11:27, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems to be a worthwhile topic.  It's an acceptable start. Edgar181 11:31, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
