A kind of polarization splitter in ZnTe tellurite glass three-core photonic crystal fiber has been proposed. The polarization splitter is based on the phenomenon of resonant tunneling. We use the finite element method and the full-vector beam propagating method to analyze the characteristics of three-core photonic crystal fiber. Compare with the silica glass three-core PCF, the ZnTe tellurite glass three-core PCF have higher extinction ratios and lower coupling loss, the extinction ratios ERA = -164.2681 dB and ERC = -37.1742 dB at the wavelength lambda = 1.55 mu m, and the coupling loss is lower than 0.02 dB. The 8.7983-mm-long splitter is proposed to achieve extinction ratio better than -20 dB and a bandwidthof 20 nm.
