Abstract: We consider resonances associated to the one dimensional Schrödinger operator $-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+V(x)$, where $V(x)=V_+$ if $x>x_M$ and $V(x)=V_-$ if $x<-x_M$, with $V_+\not = V_-$. We obtain asymptotics of the resonance-counting function for several regions. Moreover, we show that in several situations, the resonances, $V_+$, and $V_-$ determine $V$ uniquely up to translation.
