With the stated Fourier transform convention, the exponential transform is a shifted Dirac delta distribution:Writing the sine as $(e^{i{\omega }_{0}t}-e^{-i{\omega }_{0}t})/(2i)$ then givesThese are tempered distributions, since the time-domain functions are not integrable on the full real line. The second formula also correctly vanishes when ${\omega }_0=0$.
