A two body potential that is a continuous superposition of exponential potentials is assumed. It is shown in a straightforward way how the scattering amplitude itself may be obtained unambiguously from a knowledge of the left-hand cut discontinuity of the S-wave scattering amplitude. Further, a one to one correspondence is estsblished between the unphysical cut discontinuity and the inverse Laplace transform of the potential. When the discontinuity is known in a certain range of values the inverse Laplace transform of the potential is exactly known in a corresponding range of values. An extension of the treatment when a repulsive hard core is present at short distance is given. The usefulness of the inverse Laplace transform of the potential as an infermediate tool in the calculation of the scattering amplitude is discussed. (auth)
