The boundary condition is the reflected cavity field (periodic) plus the portion of the injected field transmitted into the cavity through the output mirror.

NDSolve[{Derivative[2, 0][u][t, x] == Derivative[0, 2][u][t, x],
u[0, x] == E^(-x^2), Derivative[1, 0][u][0, x] == 0,
u[t, -10] == u[t, 10]}, u, {t, 0, 40}, {x, -10, 10}]
Hope this helps,
