                          PERIODIC REPORT CERTIFICATION
                         of the Chief Executive Officer

I, Muoi Van Tran, certify that:

1.       I  have  reviewed  this  quarterly  report  on  Form  10-Q  of  Optical
Communication Products, Inc.;

2.       Based  on my  knowledge,  this  report  does  not  contain  any  untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

3.       Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial  condition,  results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as
of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.       The registrant's  other  certifying  officers and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:

         a.     Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
         disclosure   controls  and   procedures   to  be  designed   under  our
         supervision,  to  ensure  that  material  information  relating  to the
         registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known to
         us by others within those entities,  particularly  during the period in
         which this report is being prepared;

         b.     Evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  the  registrant's  disclosure
         controls and  procedures  and presented in this report our  conclusions
         about the effectiveness of the disclosure  controls and procedures,  as
         of the  end of  the  period  covered  by  this  report  based  on  such
         evaluation; and

         c.     Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
         control over financial  reporting that occurred during the registrant's
         fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected,  or
         is reasonably likely to materially  affect,  the registrant's  internal
         control over financial reporting.

5.       The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,  based
on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial  reporting,  to
the registrant's  auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's  board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

         a.     All  significant  deficiencies  and material  weaknesses  in the
         design or operation of internal control over financial  reporting which
         are reasonably  likely to adversely affect the registrant's  ability to
         record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

         b.     Any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or
         other  employees  who  have a  significant  role  in  the  registrant's
         internal control over financial reporting.
