  A new model of physically realizable electromagnetic source is proposed. The
source is partially coherent and non-uniformly totally polarized. The coherence
and polarization characteristics of this new source are analyzed. The spatial
coherence area of the source can be easily modified at will. The state of
polarization is linear across the transverse plane of the source with an
azimuth that varies from point to point in a different way depending on the
selected values of the parameters that define the source.
