The first unambiguous direct detections of extrasolar planets made the front page of The New York Times in November, 2008. While more than 350 exoplanets have been discovered using indirect techniques, the direct detection of this class of object has remained at the sensitivity limits of ground based observatories. The development of improved adaptive optics systems and high contrast instruments has increased the sensitivity to exoplanets. I will present recent results from the OSIRIS infrared lenslet-based integral field spectrograph (IFS) operating behind the Keck II adaptive optics (AO) system. The OSIRIS integral field sampling simultaneously monitors the PSF over a broad band (20%), and this sampling is used to identify and suppress speckle diffraction features. I will also discuss next-generation high contrast imaging surveys at the Palomar 200" and the Subaru Telescope. Finally, I will briefly review recent ground- and space-based exoplanet detection technology developments at the Princeton High Contrast Imaging Laboratory.
