Suppose that $F: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}$ is analytic when $\operatorname{Re}(z)>0$. Assume that it is possible to show that $F$ can be represented as a Laplace transform $$ F(z) = \int_0^{ + \infty } {\rm e}^{ - zt} f(t)\,{\rm d}t, $$ for $\operatorname{Re}(z)>a$ with some non-negative constant $a$ and $f$ being analytic in a neighbourhood of the positive real line. Does it follow from the analyticity of $F$ for $\operatorname{Re}(z)>0$ that $a=0$?
