Find Fourier Transform of S_ε(x) for Laplace's Equation

I am solving laplaces equation in the half plane and I have the following boundary condition of which I need to find the Fourier transform in the x-direction

S_\epsilon(x) = sgn(x)exp(\epsilon|x|), \epsilon >0

sgn(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}1,&amp;\mbox{ if }<br /> x&lt;0\\-1, &amp; \mbox{ if } x&lt;0\\ 0, &amp;\mbox{ if } x=0\end{array}\right.

any hints on how to approach this FT??

there is a typo for the function sgn(x)? note that
-S_\epsilon (x) = S_\epsilon (-x) is an odd function... and you should get a Fourier sine series
