ABSTRACT:
A holding member holding an optical connector is set in a rotary member such that the optical axis of the optical connector is at a predetermined inclination angle to the axis of rotation of the rotary member. An end face of the optical connector is then brought into contact with a polishing member. Then, the rotary member and polishing member are driven for rotation by drive means to polish the end face of the optical connector into an inclined convex spherical surface.
