The origin of CMB polarization is reviewed. Special emphasis is placed on the cosmological information encoded in it: the nature of primordial fluctuations, the connection with the inflation paradigm. Insights into more recent epochs are also discussed: early reionization and high redshift matter distribution from CMB lensing.
L'origine de la polarisation du CMB est passée en revue. On insiste plus particulièrement sur l'information qu'elle contient : la nature des fluctuations primordiales, le lien avec le paradigme de l'inflation. On discute aussi les aperçus apportés sur des époques plus récentes : la réionisation précoce et la distribution de matière pour des hauts décalages vers le rouge.
