These proceedings contain the papers presented as oral and poster presentations at the 43rd Annual Laser Damage Symposium. The conference was held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology facility in Boulder, Colorado on 18-21 September 2011. The symposium was divided into the traditional sessions devoted to the following topics: thin films, materials and measurements, surfaces, mirrors, and contamination, and finally, a mini-symposium on "Deep UV Optics" which included a thin film femtosecond laser damage competition. A roundtable discussion was introduced this year on the topic of "Fundamental Mechanisms" The symposium welcome was by Joseph A. Menapace from LLNL.
