We characterize a holomorphic positive definite function f defined on a horizontal strip of the complex plane as the Fourier–Laplace transform of a unique exponentially finite measure on R. With this characterization, the classical theorems of Bochner on positive definite functions and of Widder on exponentially convex functions become respectively the real and imaginary sections of the corresponding complex integral representation. We provide minimal holomorphy assumptions for this characterization and derive conclusions for meromorphic functions under minimal positive definiteness conditions. Further characterizations are derived from conditions on the derivatives of f arising from the study of the usual concepts of moment, moment-generating function and characteristic function in this context.
