Description
Gravitational lensing of gravitational waves provides a potential new probe of dark matter structures. In this talk, I will focus on the microlensing effect on gravitational wave signals from compact object binaries. I will describe how this effect changes the gravitational wave signal and discuss whether it can be detected. I will show that primordial black holes and other compact dark matter objects can be probed through the microlensing of gravitational waves.
