Apodization?? That's new for me. This page explains it:

Replacing the aperture with a gradiant aperture. Another DIY project
on my bucket list

I think I might have actually asked about this on the PDML a while back and had someone point me to it. It's not quite so much that, as applying a gradient to one of the lens elements. I suspect that it only affects the system when it is wide open.

I wonder if you could also do something with "lacework" on the aperture leaves so that the edges of the aperture are themselves effectively a gradient.
