We experimentally demonstrate amplification of 1.28 Tb/s DWDM channels using a bidirectional fiber optical parametric amplifier. The amplifier can provide more than 13 dB on-off gain on all 32 DWDM channels. Error-free operation has been achieved for all data streams, with an average power penalty of 2.5 dB compared with conventional unidirectional configuration.
