Eigenvalue communication is a promising technology for overcoming capacity limitation due to Kerr nonlinearity in optical fiber. In this letter, we propose an artificial neural network based demodulation method for optical eigenvalue modulated signal using on-off encoding. The proposed method has 9.2 dB power margin at BER = 3.8×103 compared with the conventional inverse scattering transform based demodulation method.
