By careful engineering of the core and shell dimensions in CdSe/CdS colloidal hetero‐nanocrystals , amplified spontaneous emission can be triggered from either the core, shell, or both states simultaneously. The ASE threshold is almost constant over a temperature interval of 5–325 K. This feature is unique to quantum dots and highlights their potential as a gain material, suitable for lasing at elevated temperatures.
