In the context of the search for brown dwarfs and giant planets companions to stars, as well as circumstellar disks, a first part of my work has been devoted to the study of the detection capabilities performed by high contrast and high angular resolution instruments. I have been, mainly, interested by the instruments, which presently equip the large ground based telescopes, and which are composed of an adaptive optics system and an infrared camera, coupled with a stellar coronagraph. I have been particularly involved into the integration and test phases of the Nasmyth Adaptive Optics Syst em NAOS, presently installed at the UT4 telescope of the ESO Very Large Telescope, in Chili. I also develo ped a model to study and to predict the detect...
