We have developed a fully non invasive optical technique [Phys. Rev. Lett., 114, 227801 (2015)] in order to characterize the dynamics of a liquid by measuring the spontaneous thermal fluctuations of its free surface. Liquid films lying on solid substrates are formed with a thickness down to 5 nm using a Marangoni (surface tension gradient induced) flow. Using this technique, we evidence disjoining pressure effects, and are able to probe flow properties of ultra-thin liquid films.
