The Second Persian War was fought in 480 and 479 BC, but the Spartans were not alone. They were allied with the Athenians and most of Greece in fighting the Persians.
I will add only a little known fact,more Greeks fought on Persian side than on Greek.But those who fought were mainly northern Greeks.
Another View:
The so-called 'Second' Persian War is a fabrication. The Persian War lasted 499 to 449 BCE. It was in several phases- Ionian Revolt, Persian punitive expedition against Eretria and Athens, Persian invasion of mainland Greece, and the Delian War.
There was no war between Sparta and Persia - Sparta was part of a coalition to repel the Persian invasion of mainland Greece 480-479 BCE.
Although various cities provided army and naval forces for the Persian invasion in that war, it was about a quarter of the size of the defending Greek city-states forces.
