DESCRIPTION:Gravitational lensing phenomena are widespread in electromagne
 tic astrophysics\, and in principle may also be uncovered with gravitation
 al waves. We examine gravitational wave events in the limit of geometric o
 ptics\, where we expect to see multiple signals from the same event with d
 ifferent arrival times and amplitudes\, and wave optics\, where we expect 
 to see effects such as interference and diffraction. We estimate the rate 
 of lensed signals in the Advanced LIGO era\, and discuss the strategies to
  identify them. Moreover\, we investigate the physics that we can extract 
 from lensed gravitational-wave signals such as the particulars of the lens
 .
