         Plan and 1998 Stock Plan, the weighted average exercise price for such
         outstanding options (pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act
         of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")) or (b) for shares available
         for future grant or purchase under the Company's 2000 Equity Incentive

             INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3   INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

     The following documents filed by Oplink Communications, Inc. (the
"Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement:

     (a) The Company's latest prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), on October 3, 2000.

     (b) All other reports filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") since the end
of the fiscal year covered by the annual reports, the prospectus or the
registration statement referred to in (a) above.

     (c) The description of the Company's Common Stock which is contained in a
registration statement filed on October 3, 2000 under the Exchange Act,
including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such
description.

     All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant
to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part of this
registration statement from the date of the filing of such reports and
documents.


ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     Not Applicable.


ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     The validity of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the
Company by Cooley Godward LLP, Palo Alto, California. As of the date of this
Registration Statement, certain partners and associates of Cooley Godward LLP
hold an option to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock through
investment partnerships.


ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company has
broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they
may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The Company's Bylaws require the Company to indemnify its directors and
executive officers, and permit the Company to indemnify its other officers,
employees and other agents, to the extent permitted by Delaware law. Under the
Company's Bylaws, indemnified parties are entitled to indemnification to the
fullest extent permitted by law, unless the Company demonstrates clearly and
convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person
did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation. The Bylaws also require the Company to advance litigation expenses
in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an
undertaking by the indemnified party to repay such advances if it is ultimately
determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification.

     The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its
directors and executive officers. Such indemnity agreements contain provisions
which are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions
contained in Delaware law.

                                       1.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

1.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;

         (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement.

        (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;

     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the issuer
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference herein.

                                       2.
<PAGE>

     (b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.



2.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
     determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
     registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
     the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
     benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange
     Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
     shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
     securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
     Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
     registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
     registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
     expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
     event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
     than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
     director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
     successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
     director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
     being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
     the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
     appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
     against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
     governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


                                       3.
