The Spectrum of an exponentially decaying Light Pulse
In this problem you will learn how to apply the Fourier Transformation to a simple exponentially decaying electric field.

We compute the spectrum of a rectangular shaped pulse with underlying oscillating electric field.
The Heaviside step function is very important in physics. It often models a sudden switch-on phenomenon and is therefore present in a lot of integrals.
