  This proceedings contribution gives a brief experimental update of the `Any
light particle search (ALPS) -II' at DESY which will be sensitive to sub-eV,
very weakly coupled particles beyond the Standard Model. First data on hidden
sector photon parameter space through photon-hidden photon oscillations in
vacuum is expected in 2014. Axion-like particle search (implying the
installation of superconducting HERA magnets) could be realized in 2017.
