The structural and electronic properties of thin layers of single crystals of the topological insulator Sb2Te2Se were studied by X-ray diffraction and magneto-optical spectroscopy. A sharp edge of the absorption band as well as Fabry-Perot oscillations were revealed in the transmission spectra measured at 4.2 K which made it possible to estimate the band gap Eg~374 meV and the refractive index n~ 8.5. The application of magnetic fields up to 11 T led to a significant decrease in the amplitude of the oscillations attributed to the Faraday effect. The Verdet constant was estimated to be of V~103 degrees/cm · T. Keywords: topological insulator, Sb2Te2Se, magneto-optics, transmission spectrum.
