When and how does Vader learn that Luke is his son?


During the Battle of Yavin, it's fairly clear that Vader does not know that Luke is his son. Or at least, he doesn't sense a familial connection (and he doesn't sense one with Leia either, who he shares a room with at least 3 times). The closest he gets with Luke is sensing his Force abilities during the battle:



The Force is strong with this one!



But by the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, he knows of Luke Skywalker, and he knows he's with the rebels. When the probe discovers the rebels on Hoth:



OZZEL: My Lord, how do you know it's them? There are so many uncharted settlements. It could be smugglers ...


VADER: I know. And I know young Skywalker is with them. Bring in the patrol ships, Admiral, and set your course for the Hoth System. General Veers, prepare your men.



And he isn't surprised when the Emperor later indicates that Luke is the son of Anakin:



The Force is strong with him. The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi.



So when did Vader learn about Luke? Did the Emperor know that he had lived the entire time and keep it from him? Did they both learn the truth sometime after the Battle of Yavin?
