Nonlinear optical properties of cadmium telluride semiconductor nanocrystals were investigated for optical power self-limiting application. The semiconductor nanocrystals were synthesized through colloidal methods. The nonlinear refraction and the nonlinear figure of merit of CdTe nanocrystals in toluene ($\sim$8 $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ mol/L) were estimated to be $\sim$ -1 $\times$ 10$^{-13}$ m$^2$/W and $\sim$200, respectively. The optical power limiting through CdTe nanoscale materials was mainly by the nonlinear refraction because of the high nonlinear FOM.
