Need help with an integral: Laplace Transform of a chirp

In summary, the Laplace Transform is a mathematical operation used in engineering and physics to simplify the analysis of linear systems. A chirp signal is a type of signal that changes in frequency over time and is commonly used in radar, sonar, and communication systems. The Laplace Transform of a chirp allows for analysis of its frequency components in the complex frequency domain, aiding in the design and analysis of systems that use chirp signals. Calculating the Laplace Transform of a chirp may require knowledge of complex analysis and integral calculus. It has many practical applications in fields such as signal processing, communication systems, and control systems, as well as in scientific research.

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 [tex] 2sin(x)i=e^{ix}+e^{-ix} [/tex]

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

'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?
