Need help with an integral: Laplace Transform of a chirp

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the Laplace Transform of a chirp, specifically the integral of (exp(s*t))*sin(t^2) from zero to infinity. A suggestion is made to use Euler's formula to simplify the sine function, but concerns are raised about the validity of this approach due to the t^2 term in the sine function. The integral formula provided, \int_{0}^{\infty}dt.e^{at-st}= (s-a)^{-1}, is noted as potentially useful. However, the complexity introduced by the t^2 term raises questions about the applicability of the suggested method. Overall, the thread seeks guidance on evaluating this specific integral effectively.

I am trying to find the Laplace Transform of a chirp:
Essentially this requires evaluating an integral between zero and infinity of:

(exp(s*t))*sin(t^2) with respect to t where s is the parameter (Laplace space frequency).

Any help or advice or a redirect to some useful link would be much appreciated.

TRICK: use Euler's formula 2sin(x)i=e^{ix}+e^{-ix}

with \int_{0}^{\infty}dt.e^{at-st}= (s-a)^{-1}

'a' here can be any real or complex number , hope it helps

However doesn't the t^2 inside the sine function make the suggested trick invalid?
