ある。BACKGROUND ART Traditionally, the end face of plastic optical fibers has been manually polished. In this polishing work, rough polishing is first performed to obtain a certain degree of flatness, and then final polishing is often performed. Therefore, the polishing depends largely on the operator who performs the polishing, resulting in variations in the finish and the problem that it takes a long time to obtain a good end surface.

になる。In the 411f polishing tape 6, when the reel 1.2 rotates in the force plane of the arrow 21, the tip 9 of the plastic optical fiber 7
The abrasive grains attached to the surface facing the surface are gradually becoming finer. For example, the polishing tape 6 has abrasive grains attached for rough polishing in the first 10 m, and in the next 20 m.
m has abrasive grains attached for semi-finishing, and the final lOm
has extremely fine abrasive grains attached for finishing.
This last abrasive grain forms a mirror surface on the tip 9.
