Abstract
An array of electrically conductive waveguides is made by a method including defining slots in broad surfaces of planar dielectric slabs. The surfaces of the slabs, including slots, are metallized. The broad sides of the slabs are juxtaposed, with the slots registered with the planar surfaces of another slab, to form one or more closed waveguides. Heat pipes are made by defining apertures within the dielectric slabs, and introducing wick material into the apertures.
