Strong gravitational lensing of gravitational waves can produce duplicate signals separated in time with different amplitudes. We consider the case in which strong lensing produces superthreshold gravitational-wave events and weaker subthreshold signals buried in the noise background. We present the GstLAL-based TargetEd Subthreshold Lensing seArch search method for the subthreshold signals using reduced template banks targeting specific confirmed gravitational-wave events. We perform a simulation campaign to assess the performance of the proposed search method. We show that it can effectively uprank potential subthreshold lensed counterparts to the target gravitational-wave event. We also compare its performance to other alternative solutions to the posed problem and demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms the other solutions. The method described in this paper has already been deployed in the recent LVK Collaboration-wide search for lensing signatures of gravitational waves in the first half of LIGO/Virgo third observing run O3a [R. Abbott et al. (LIGO Scientific, Virgo Collaborations), Astrophys. J. 923, 14 (2021).].

Gravitational lensing of gravitational waves: universal characteristics of strongly lensed memory waveforms
Strongly lensed gravitational-wave memory waveforms acquire universal parity signatures—odd for type I/III images, even for type II—that can identify image type via a simple step-function approximation.

The diffraction-lensing interpretation of GW231123 with astrophysical priors
GW231123 is better fit by a lower-mass merger diffracted by an isolated ~1000 M_sun lens, but astrophysical priors and a frequentist rate estimate make this lensing interpretation unlikely.

Search for strong lensing of gravitational waves in the binary black hole events from O1-O4a
Posterior Overlap 2.0 finds no lensed BBH pairs in O1–O4a (p_L < 0.6% for all pairs) and sets a 90% upper bound of 1.4% on the strong-lensing fraction.

Forecasting Constraints on Cosmology and Modified Gravitational-wave Propagation by Combining Strongly Lensed Gravitational Waves and Galaxy Surveys
Simulated doubly lensed gravitational-wave events matched to galaxy surveys give a forecasted H0 precision of 0.42% with next-generation detectors.

A $\chi^2$ statistic for the identification of strongly lensed gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences
A chi-squared test built from gravitational wave search templates can separate lensed event pairs from unlensed pairs with accuracy comparable to slower Bayesian methods.

Better early than never: A new test for superluminal gravitational wave polarizations
A backward search in time from known gravitational wave detections could detect or constrain superluminal non-tensor polarizations, and the authors argue this is feasible with current detectors.
