Description
The Super Gaussian Apodization type spatial power apodization function applies a power scaling to the rayset as a function of ray position using the following functional form:

Unlike the Gaussian spatial apodization function, this form of the distribution allows the X and Y exponents to be defined independently. The Laser Diode (incoherent) type Source Primitive uses this spatial power apodization function internally in its construction.
