In this paper we adopt the perturbation approach of Landriault, Renaud and Zhou (2011) to find expressions for the joint Laplace transforms of occupation times for time-homogeneous diffusion processes. The expressions are in terms of solutions to the associated differential equations. These Laplace transforms are applied to study ruin-related problems for several classes of diffusion risk processes.
