Topological insulator (TI) Bi2SeTe2 nanosheets with very regular hexagonal morphology were synthesized by a hydrothermal route. Open aperture (OA) z-scan method was performed to measure the saturable absorption (SA) characteristics of the as-prepared TI Bi2SeTe2 nanosheets. The measured modulation depth, saturation intensity and nonsaturable loss of the sample were 61.9%, 4.46 GW/cm(2) and 4.5% respectively. An ultrafast intraband scattering time of similar to 50 fs was obtained through simulating the SA curve, which indicates the TI Bi2SeTe2 nanosheets may be a good candidate for mode-locking material.
