The author considers the inverse problem for the Schrödinger operator \[ Ly = -y'' + q'y \] on \(L^2(\mathbb R)\) with a one-periodic potential \(q\in {\mathcal H} = \{p \in L^2(\mathbb T)\,| \, \int_{0}^1 p(x) dx = 0\}\), where \(\mathbb T = {\mathbb R}/{\mathbb Z}\). It is not assumed that \(q'\in L^2(\mathbb R)\); thus the operator \(\psi \mapsto q' \psi\) is defined via the quadratic form \(\langle q'\psi,\psi\rangle = -\int_{\mathbb R} q \psi'\overline{\psi} dx - \int_{\mathbb R} q \psi \overline{\psi'}dx \) where \(\psi \in W^{2,2}(\mathbb R)\). The operator \(L\) is then explained with the KLMN theorem. It is shown that \(q\) and the spectral data can be related by real an analytic isomorphism. Furthermore, a priori estimates of \(q\) in terms of the spectral data are obtained. The reconstruction is not studied. So, the author extends, firstly, the result of \textit{V. A. Marchenko} and \textit{L. V. Ostrovskii} [Math. USSR, Sb. 26, No. 4, 493--554 (1977); translation from Mat. Sb., N. Ser. 97(139), 540--606 (1975; Zbl 0327.34021)] about the height-slit mapping to the case \(q\in L^2(\mathbb R)\). Secondly, the inverse problem in terms of gap lengths is solved for \(q\in L^2(\mathbb R)\) generalizing results of \textit{J. Garnett} and \textit{E. Trubowitz} [Comment. Math. Helv. 59, No. 2, 258--312 (1984; Zbl 0554.34013)], \textit{P. Karagaev} and the author [Invent. Math. 129, No. 3, 567--593 (1997; Zbl 0878.34011), Invent. Math. 138, No. 1, 227 (1999; Zbl 0935.34006)] and the author [Math. Z. 231, No. 2, 345--368 (1999; Zbl 0929.34016)].
