                          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  officer 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 officer 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.
