In this paper we have calculated the effects of loss on the propagation of soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Since we are interested in the application of these results to optical communications, it is necessary to go beyond perturbative results. This is due to the fact that propagation distances in optical fibers are significantly greater than the decay length of the energy in the pulses. Some conclusions are drawn about the application of solitons in long-distance communications.
