We perform infrared imaging upconversion of a coherent signal at 1550 nm using a spatially shaped pump. Our experimental and simulation results demonstrate that the use of a uniform pump beam (flat-top) can enhance the number of spatially resolved elements due to the better spatial distribution of the energy compared to the gaussian beam for which the finite transverse aperture of the crystal limits the suitable waist without being cut by the crystal. With a 1 × 1.5 mm2 aperture crystal, we could convert 170 modes with a 400 μm radius flat-top pump against 156 with a 330 µm radius gaussian pump.
