Explicit formulas for Laplace transforms of certain functionals of some time inhomogeneous diffusions

We consider a process given by the SDE , t∈[0,T), with initial condition , where T∈(0,∞], α∈R, (Bt)_t∈[0,T) is a standard Wiener process, b:[0,T)→R?{0} and σ:[0,T)→(0,∞) are continuously differentiable functions.
