A driver in a far-field magneto-optical ("MO") system has a read/write head that includes an objective lens for focusing a laser beam onto an MO disk. The objective lens is housed in an objective lens holder. A magnetic biasing coil is mounted to the bottom of the objective lens holder, between the objective lens and the MO disk. The coil includes an aperture to allow the laser beam to pass through the coil and onto a surface of the disk. The objective lens holder is moved up and down as the disk spins by an actuator to maintain the laser beam in focus on the MO disk surface. This maintains the objective lens and the coil precisely at predetermined distances from the MO disk surface, despite irregularities in the disk and disk wobble.
