         Re:      Registration Statement on Form S-4
                  for 1,930,869 Shares of Common Stock
                  ------------------------------------

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have  acted as  counsel  to  Optical  Coating  Laboratory,  Inc.,  a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"),  in connection with the registration under
the  Securities  Act of  1933,  as  amended,  on  Form  S-4  (the  "Registration
Statement"),  of 1,930,869 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Shares"), of the Company to be issued in connection with the merger of a wholly
owned  subsidiary  of the Company with and into Optical  Corporation  of America
(the "Merger").

         We have  reviewed the corporate  proceedings  taken by the Company with
respect  to the  authorization  of the  issuance  of the  Shares.  We have  also
examined  and  relied  upon   originals   or  copies,   certified  or  otherwise
authenticated  to  our  satisfaction,   of  all  corporate  records,  documents,
agreements or other instruments of the Company and have made all  investigations
of law and have  discussed with the Company's  representatives  all questions of
fact that we have deemed necessary or appropriate.

         Based  upon  and  subject  to the  foregoing  and our  examination  and
consideration  of such  other  factual  and  legal  matters  as we  have  deemed
appropriate  and subject to receipt from the Securities and Exchange  Commission
of an  order  declaring  the  Registration  Statement  effective,  we are of the
opinion  that the  Shares  when  issued  will have been duly  authorized  by the
Company and that all of the Shares,  when issued in  connection  with the Merger
and as contemplated in the Registration Statement, will be legally issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
