Abstract:
We assess the feasibility of probing dark energy with strong
gravitational lensing systems. The capability of the method,
which depends on the accuracy with which the lensing systems
are modeled, is quantitatively investigated using the Fisher-matrix
formalism. We show that this method might place useful constraints
on the density parameter and the redshift evolution of the dark
energy by combining it with a constraint from supernova measurements.
For this purpose, the lens potential needs to be precisely reconstructed.
We determine the required quality of data.
We also briefly discuss the optimal strategy to constrain the
cosmological parameters using gravitational lensing systems.
