The present invention provides a process for producing an optical
connector, an apparatus for producing the same, and a process for forming
a polymer coating film on an end face of a fibrous dielectric, which can
dispose a refractive index adjuster only onto an end face of an optical
transmitting medium with excellent reproducibility. Such a process
includes bringing an end surface of the optical transmitting medium close
to an end face of a liquid refractive index adjuster, while charging at
least one of the optical transmitting medium and the liquid refractive
index adjuster, thereby adhering the liquid refractive index adjuster to
the end face of the optical transmitting medium, and thereafter
solidifying the adhered liquid refractive index adjuster to obtain the
refractive index adjuster.
