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

  1. Across the Universe: GW231123 as a magnified and diffracted black hole merger

    astro-ph.GA 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    GW231123's extreme mass and spins may be explained by a point-mass microlens embedded in a galaxy, reducing the inferred source mass to about 100-180 solar masses.

  2. Consistency relations of amplitude and phase fluctuations of gravitational waves magnified by strong gravitational lensing

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Consistency relations for GW amplitude and phase fluctuations remain unchanged when a strong lens is added to cosmological weak lensing, with second-order amplification and mean-signal magnification/Fresnel-scale shifts.

  3. Accelerated inference of microlensed gravitational waves with machine learning

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A neural posterior estimator trained on wave-optics-microlensed gravitational-wave signals recovers source and lens parameters and Bayes factors consistent with Bilby, about 10 times faster.

  4. Multi-band observation of lensed gravitational waves as a probe of small-mass dark matter halos

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using Fisher forecasts, the paper shows that joint ET and DECIGO observations of one lensed gravitational wave can break the degeneracy between lens mass, impact parameter, and halo core size.
