We demonstrate phase-matched second-harmonic generation in a poled polymer waveguide, using anomalous-dispersion phase matching. Phase matching was achieved between lowest-order fundamental and harmonic modes, TM{sub 0}{sup {omega}} to TM{sub 0}{sup 2{omega}}, at a fundamental wavelength of 815 nm over a propagation length of 32 {mu}m. The maximum conversion efficiency was {eta}{sub exp}=39%/Wcm{sup 2}, in good agreement with theory. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital Optical} {ital Society} {ital of} {ital America}.
