The effects of trapped electrons on off-axis lower hybrid current drive （LHCD） in tokamaks are studied. The influence of the resonance regime on the current drive efficiency as well as the influence of trapped particle fraction on the current drive efficiency are emphasized.

A new multi-channel far infrared （FIR） laser interferometer was built up and ap- plied to HL-2A. The unique feature of real-time heterodyne interferometer is the combination of high power radiation source （300 mW）, lower noise room temperature detector （noise tempera- ture below 6000 K） with good spatial resolution of 7 cm. Various parameters are optimized for maximum laser output power. Zero crossings of the signals are counted with field programmable gate array （FPGA） digital circuitry yielding the resolution of 1/1000 fringe. The newly measured results including density fluctuation are also presented.
