Recently, researchers paid more attention on designing optical routers, since they are essential building blocks of all photonic interconnection architectures. Thus, improving them could lead to a spontaneous improvement in the overall performance of the network. Optical routers suffer from the dilemma of increased insertion loss and crosstalk, which upraises the power consumed as the network scales. In this paper, we propose a new 7×7 non-blocking optical router based on the Dimension Order Routing (DOR) algorithm. Moreover, we develop a method that can ensure the least number of MicroRing Resonators (MRRs) in an optical router. Therefore, by reducing these optical devices, the optical router proposed can decrease the crosstalk and insertion loss of the network. This optical router is evaluated and compared to Ye's router and the optimized crossbar for 3D Mesh network that uses XYZ routing algorithm. Unlike many other proposed routers, this paper evaluates optical routers not only from router level prospective yet also consider the overall network level condition. The appraisals show that our optical router can reduce the worst-case network insertion loss by almost 8.7%, 46.39%, 39.3%, and 41.4% compared to Ye's router, optimized crossbar, optimized universal OR, and Optimized VOTEX, respectively. Moreover, it decreases the Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) worst-case by almost 27.92%, 88%, 77%, and 69.6% compared to Ye's router, optimized crossbar, optimized universal OR, and Optimized VOTEX, respectively. It also reduces the power consumption by 3.22%, 23.99%, 19.12%, and 20.18% compared to Ye's router, optimized crossbar, optimized universal OR, and Optimized VOTEX, respectively.
