description We report the complex dielectric function <i>ε</i> = <i>ε</i><sub>1</sub> + <i>iε</i><sub>2</sub> of MoS<sub>2</sub>/WS<sub>2</sub> and WS<sub>2</sub>/MoS<sub>2</sub> heterostructures and their constituent monolayers MoS<sub>2</sub> and WS<sub>2</sub> for an energy range from 1.5 to 6.0 eV and temperatures from 39 to 300 K. Comparisons between the optical properties of the heterostructures and their monolayers were conducted. Critical-point (CP) energies of the heterostructures were traced back to their origins in the monolayers. Low-temperature measurements confirmed the existence of only three excitonic CPs from 1.5 to 2.5 eV due to the overlap of trion <i>B</i><sup>−</sup> of the MoS<sub>2</sub> monolayer and exciton <i>A</i><sup>0</sup> of the WS<sub>2</sub> monolayer. Due to the dielectric screening effect, most CPs exhibit red shifts in the heterostructures compared to their monolayer counterparts.
