Abstract

In [Phys. Rev. A 90, 023833 (2014)], we offer a solution to the problem of constructing a scattering potential v(x) which possesses scattering properties of one's choice at an arbitrarily prescribed wave number. This solution involves expressing v(x) as the sum of n6 finite-range unidirectionally invisible potentials. We improve this result by reducing the upper bound on n from 6 to 4. In particular, we show that we can construct v(x) as the sum of up to n=3 finite-range unidirectionally invisible potentials, unless if it is required to be bidirectionally reflectionless.
