Abstract

I go through a brief overview of some aspects of gravitational lensing and explain the basics of LOFAR. Bases on that I argue why we can and will use LOFAR surveys as a phantastic tool for future gravitational lens searches. Different strategies to find 1000-2000 new radio lenses are discussed.

The plans are continuously updated. Older similar talks can be found here and here and here.
