In this paper, we present a novel extension of the well-known split-step Fourier transform (SSFT) approach for solving the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE), which incorporates the fiber loss term. While this essential equation governs the pulse propagation in a lossy optical fiber, it is not supported by an exact analytical solution. In this regard, extended versions of the Fourier pseudospectral method (FPSM) and Hopscotch method (HSM) are effectively established as well to
