Content of review 1, reviewed on November 28, 2019

The submitted manuscript introduces a 3D extension of the Gaussian Schell-model beams realizability. They introduce both sufficient and necessary conditions to get a physically realizable source. That may be useful in the analysis of non-paraxial partially-coherent partially-polarized fields. It is clearly presented.
