Most of the 500 extra-solar planets detected to date have been discovered either by radial velocity measurements or photometric transits but very few by direct techniques. Direct imaging of exoplanets, however, gives access to a wider variety of information on the planet, from its orbital position to its spectrum, but is a difficult task to achieve because of the small angular separation between the star and its planet and the large flux ratio between them. For these two reasons, direct imaging of exoplanets has up to now been limited to the most favorable cases of bright giant exoplanets orbiting at large distances from their host stars. The present work aims at developing the high dynamic range capabilities of single- and multi-aperture i...
