Abstract

An apparatus for writing data to an optical storage media and a servo control unit and a laser diode driver unit thereof. The apparatus making a laser diode emit light includes a servo control unit and a laser diode driver unit. The servo control unit includes a control unit for controlling a burning procedure and a modulation unit for outputting an encoded signal. The laser diode driver unit receives the encoded signal and includes a PLL unit, a write strategy generation unit and a lock/unlock detection unit. The PLL unit outputs at least one of a second clock signal and a second data signal according to the encoded signal. The write strategy generation unit outputs a control signal to control the laser diode according to the second clock signal and the second data signal. The lock/unlock detection unit outputs a lock indicator or an unlock indicator to the control unit.
