- W1944430724 abstract "This thesis covers the development and the characterization of a single photon detector based on a superconducting microcalorimeter. The detector development is motivated by the Any Light Particle Search II (ALPS II) experiment at DESY in Hamburg, which searches for weakly interacting sub-eV particles (WISPs). There- fore, a detection of low-fluxes of 1064 nm light is required. The work is divided in three analyses: the characterization of a milli-kelvin (mK) cryostat, the character- ization of superconducting sensors for single photon detection, and the determina- tion of dark count rates concerning 1064 nm signals. Firstly, an adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR) is characterized, which allows to reach mK-temperatures. During commissioning, the ADR cryostat is op- timized and prepared to stably cool superconducting sensors at 80 mK 25 K. It is found that sensors can be continuously operated for 20 h before recharging the system in < 2 h. Furthermore, the adiabatic system reaches a chance of success of 80 % for a recharge without technical problems. Secondly, superconducting sensors are analyzed. The focus is on microcalori- metric transition-edge sensors (TESs) based on 20 nm Tungsten (W) films fabri- cated by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). NIST TESs have a near unity detection e ciency for 1064 nm light (literature value). The energy resolution for 1064 nm signals is measured to be < 8 %. The expo- nential falling time of a photon pulse is 1.5 s. Furthermore, by determining TES parameters, it is found that the linear TES theory describes measured photon pulses well. The TES response is read out by a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) fabricated by Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). The system bandwidth is measured to be 0.9 MHz. Finally, the operation in the ADR cryostat as well as the ALPS II laboratory is optimized. This setup forms the ALPS TES detector. Thirdly, the background is measured to obtain a dark count rate for 1064 nm signals. The ALPS TES detector is calibrated by a 1064 nm single photon source and methods are developed to analyze signals. In long-term measurements, back- ground events are measured by using di erent optical setups. By operating the TES without an optical link outside mK-environment, intrinsic background components are observed and classified. This results in an intrinsic dark count rate for 1064 nm signals of 1 : 0 10" @default.
