Complex frequency of a pole
If we have the transfer function of a LC high pass filter:

$H(s) = \frac{sL}{sL+\frac{1}{sC}}$ 

If we want to find the pole of that filter in the end we get:

$s = \frac{j}{\sqrt{LC}}$

and for a sinuisodal input signal $s = j\omega$ the pole exists at the resonant frequency $\omega_{r}$

However if we dont apply a sinuisodal signal at the input s may become a complex number->the frequency of the pole may be complex.But what physical meaning does it have?
