H[s_]=1/s^2*Exp[s^2*a^2/2]*
    Integrate[Exp[-u^2/2], {u , s*a , Infinity}]

(E^((a^2*s^2)/2)*Sqrt[Pi/2]*Erfc[(a*s)/Sqrt[2]])/s^2

h[t_]=InverseLaplaceTransform[H[s], s, t]//
    Simplify

a*(-1 + E^(-(t^2/(2*a^2)))) + Sqrt[Pi/2]*t*
   Erf[t/(Sqrt[2]*a)]

H[s]==FullSimplify[
    LaplaceTransform[h[t], t, s], a>0]

True
