  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Transformation optics is a powerful tool allowing remapping a generic domain into another yet maintaining a correspondence of the solution of Maxwell's equations within the two domains. Transformation optics has been used in the past to conveniently solve for modes in a generic waveguide by transforming its cross‐section into a circular one. Such a transformation needs particular care in enforcing boundary conditions in the transformed, circular, domain. In this paper, a theoretical treatment of boundary conditions is presented, allowing for an accurate computation of all field components in a generic waveguide.</jats:p>
