This thesis was done within the context of the international collaboration SuperNova Legacy Survey, SNLS. The main goal of this project is to measure precisely the cosmological parameters and to study the characteristics of dark energy, via its equation of state. To this end, a broad sample of SNe Ia at large redshifts is collected using MegaCam, a camera installed on the 3.6 meters telescope CFH, located in Hawaii. Several hundred SNe Ia, with redshifts ranging between 0.3 and 1, will be measured during the five years planned for the project. We first show how the type Ia SNe can be used as standard candles, objects whose luminosity is reproducible, in order to make distance measurements in cosmology. We then present the various steps goin...
