Laplace Transform
The linear time invariant (LTI) system is described by differential equations. The Laplace transform is a mathematical tool which converts the differential equations in time domain into algebraic equations in the frequency domain (or s-domain).
If x(t) is a time function, then the Laplace transform of the function is defined as −
$$\mathrm{L[x(t)] \:=\: X(s) \:=\: \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\: x(t) e^{-st} \: dt\:\:\dotso\:(1)}$$
Where, s is a complex variable and it is given by,
$$\mathrm{s \:=\: \sigma \:+\: j\omega}$$
Inverse Laplace Transform
The inverse Laplace transform is defined as −
$$\mathrm{L^{-1}[X(s)] \:=\: x(t)\:=\: \frac{1}{2\pi j} \int_{\sigma - j\infty}^{\sigma + j\infty}\: X(s) e^{st} \: ds\:\:\dotso\:(2)}$$
The equations (1) and (2) constitute the Laplace transform pair, and it may be represented as,
$$\mathrm{x(t) \:\overset{LT}\longleftrightarrow\: X(s)}$$
