The generation of optical frequency combs in microresonators has attracted intense interest over the past decade.  This can be attributed to their potential for an ultralow power, chip-based implementation and the beautiful, complex physics underlying their operation.  I will describe our recent work exploring the dynamical behavior of microresonator combs, their application to spectroscopy, and development of a fully integrated device.
