In a previous post we explored some relationships between the Laplace and the Fourier transforms. In this post we address a common question: “when is the Fourier transform of a signal, $X(j\omega)$, equal to its Laplace transform, $X(s)$, evaluated at $s = j \omega$?” The short answer is: when the region of convergence of the corresponding Laplace transform contains the imaginary axis.

The Fourier and the Laplace transforms
Because feedback requires careful consideration of stability and causality, the transform tool of choice is almost always the Laplace transform. Yet, in many applications it is the Fourier transform that arises most naturally.
