چکیده
We discuss how small-scale density perturbations on the Fresnel scale affect amplitudes and phases of gravitational waves that are magnified by lensing in geometric optics. derive equations connect with amplitude phase fluctuations to show such perturbative wave optics effects significantly boosted presence macro model magnifications can easily be observed for highly waves. expected signals due microlensing stars, dark matter substructure, fuzzy matter, primordial black holes.

Gravitational lensing by gravitational waves
Gravitational lensing by gravitational wave is considered. We notice that although final and initial direction of photons coincide, displacement between final and initial trajectories occurs. This displacement is calculated analytically for the plane gravitational wave pulse. Estimations for observations are discussed.
متن کاملThe amplitude of mass fluctuations and mass density of the Universe constrained by strong gravitational lensing
We investigate the linear amplitude of mass fluctuations in the universe, σ8, and the present mass density parameter of the Universe, Ωm, from the statistical strong gravitational lensing. We use the two populations of lens halos model with fixed cooling mass scale Mc = 3× 10 hM⊙ to match the observed lensing probabilities, and leave σ8 or Ωm as a free parameter to be constrained by data. Anoth...
متن کاملLensing of 21-cm fluctuations by primordial gravitational waves.
Weak-gravitational-lensing distortions to the intensity pattern of 21-cm radiation from the dark ages can be decomposed geometrically into curl and curl-free components. Lensing by primordial gravitational waves induces a curl component, while the contribution from lensing by density fluctuations is strongly suppressed. Angular fluctuations in the 21-cm background extend to very small angular s...
متن کاملGravitational Lensing of Gravitational Waves from Merging Neutron Star Binaries.
We discuss the gravitational lensing of gravitational waves from merging neutron star binaries, in the context of advanced LIGO type gravitational wave detectors. We consider properties of the expected observational data with cut on the signal-to-noise ratio ρ, i.e., ρ > ρ0. An advanced LIGO should see unlensed inspiral events with a redshift distribution with cut-off at a redshift zmax < 1 for...
متن کاملGravitational Lensing by Phase Sheet Folds
Collisionless cold matter in a Hubble flow occupies a 3D sheet in 6D phase space. Perturbations distort the sheet and nonlinear collapse leads to wraps and contortions, leaving the sheet intact with its original local phase density. Fold catastrophes in the projection of this sheet onto the plane of the sky produce line singularities in surface density which can lead to observable gravitational...
