Spectral line-by-line pulse shaping of an on-chip microresonator frequency comb

We report spectral phase characterization and optical arbitrary waveform generation of on-chip microresonator combs. Random relative frequency shifts due to uncorrelated variations of frequency dependent phase are at or below the 100 μHz level.
