Abstract
Different complex potentials are optimized and their absorption widths are compared. The best potential found is obtained from a simple syst ematic inversion technique. It is shown that discontinuities do not ne cessarily cause reflection, and that a real part in addition to the im aginary absorbing potential improves absorption.
