Gravitational Lensing of Gravitational Waves: Rotation of Polarization Plane
arXiv:1907.07486 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.100.064028
Abstract
Similar to the light, gravitational waves traveling in multiple paths may arrive at the same location if there is a gravitational lens on their way. Apart from the magnification of the amplitudes and the time delay between the gravitational wave rays, gravitational lensing also rotates their polarization planes. This results in the changes in the antenna pattern function, which describes the response of the detector to its relative orientation to the gravitational wave. These effects are all reflected in the strain, the signal registered by the interferometers. The gravitational wave rays in various directions stimulate different strains. Their strains differ from each other due to different magnification factors, the phases and the rotation of the polarization plane. The phase difference mainly comes from the time delay. Moreover, the rotation of the polarization plane seemingly introduces the \textit{apparent} vector polarizations, when these strains are compared with each other. Because of the smallness of the deflection angles, the effect of the rotation is negligible.
