Abstract

Gravitational waves can act as gravitationallenses and create multiple images of a light source.This situation is much more interesting thansingle-image lensing because of the associatedhigh-amplification events that may lead to the indirect detectionof gravitational waves. It is proposed to observe theeffect due to gravitational waves generated in supernovaexplosions.
