Abstract: (submitter)
This review on “wave optics in gravitational lensing” includes a derivation of the diffraction integral formula for the lensed wave amplitude using the path integral (§2), reduction of
this formula to the geometric optics approximation in the short wavelength limit along with
discussion on the condition that the wave effects become important (§3), examples of wave
effects for a point-mass lens and the fold caustic (§4), and a numerical method of evaluating
the diffraction integral (§5).References(0)
