The increase in gravitational wave events has enabled the observation of strong lensing image pairs of gravitational waves. However, the wave effect caused by the microlens field contaminates the parameter estimation of the image pair, leading to potential misjudgment of strong lensing signals. To quantify this influence, a large sample of statistical research is required. However, the computational time of the Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction integral limits such studies.
The increase in gravitational wave (GW) events has allowed receiving strong lensing image pairs of GWs. However, the wave effect (diffraction and interference) due to the microlens field contaminates the parameter estimation of the image pair, which may lead to a misjudgment of strong lensing signals. To quantify the influence of the microlens field, researchers need a large sample of statistical research. Nevertheless, due to the oscillation characteristic, the Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction integral's computational time hinders this aspect's study. Although many algorithms are available, most cannot be well applied to the case where the microlens field is embedded in galaxy/galaxy clusters. This work proposes a faster and more accurate algorithm for studying the wave optics effect of microlenses embedded in different types of strong lensing images. Additionally, we provide a quantitative estimation criterion for the lens plane boundary for the Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction integral. This algorithm can significantly facilitate the study of wave optics, particularly in the case of microlens fields embedded in galaxy/galaxy clusters.
