Abstract
Using laser-induced photobleaching of a fluorescent tracer molecule, we study diffusion in free-standing smectic films as thin as two layers. For films four or more layers thick, the in-plane diffusion constant increases in agreement with a hydrodynamic theory outlined here. Two- and three-layer films show different behavior.
