Abstract: The Any Light Particle Search II (ALPS II) requires a sensitive detection of 1064~nm photons. Thus, a low dark count rate ($DC$) and a high detection efficiency ($DE$) is needed. ALPS has set up a transition-edge sensor (TES) detector system, namely the ALPS TES detector. It is found that thermal photons from room temperature surfaces are the main contribution of dark counts for 1064~nm photon signals. Furthermore, the current setup of the ALPS TES detector shows an improvement compared to using the ALPS I detector.
