We present parallel parametric amplification of coherently excited, propagating spin waves in a microstructured magnonic Ni{sub 81}Fe{sub 19} waveguide. Amplification is achieved by the pumping field generated by a microwave current flowing through a Cu micro-stripline underneath the waveguide. By employing microfocussed Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy, we investigate the spatial decay of the propagating spin waves and their amplification by means of parallel pumping. We analyze the dependence of the intensity of the amplified spin waves on the spin-wave excitation power, pumping power, and pumping duration, revealing the most efficient working point for a noise-free amplification. This paves the way for a frequency selective amplification of spin waves in microstructured magnonic circuits.
