It is nothing but non-imaging in Greek, but (to us) it sounds better. As researchers in this field we cannot allow ourselves to deal with common names as charm or others used by the particle physicist, as we deal with a venerable and traditional science (old fashioned even, as perhaps we at this Institute are): geometrical optics, whose variational principles were already known by Plotine and other Ancient Greeks.
ref: 1991, Winston, Roland; Holman, Robert L; Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, Nonimaging Optics: Maximum Efficiency Light Transfer : 23-24 July 1991, San Diego, California:

It protects against direct sunlight, something difficult with atria.
ref: 2002, Andreas K. Athienitis, Thermal Analysis and Design of Passive Solar Buildings:
text: An anidolic reflector offers the prospect of being able to concentrate diffuse light from a selected portion of the sky, and transmit that light to another anidolic reflector where it will be 'deconcentrated' and diffused within an interior space.
