Abstract
Third generation gravitational wave (GW) detectors are expected to detect
millions of binary black hole (BBH) mergers during their operation period. A
small fraction of them ($1\%$) will be strongly lensed by intervening
galaxies and clusters, producing multiple observable copies of the GW signals.
The expected number of lensed events and the distribution of the time delay
between lensed events depend on the cosmology. We develop a Bayesian analysis
method for estimating cosmological parameters from the detected number of
lensed events and their time delay distribution. The expected constraints are
comparable to that obtained from other cosmological measurements, but probing a
different redshift regime ($z 10$) that is not explored by other probes.
