We propose a holographic display system for complex amplitude modulation (CAM) using a phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM) and two polarization gratings (PG). The two sub-holograms of the complex-amplitude computed generated hologram (CGH) are loaded in different regions of SLM. Two diffractive components couple in space after longitudinal migration from the double PGs, and finally interfered through the line polarizer. The influence of the system error on the reconstructed image quality is analyzed, which provides a theoretical assessment for adding pre-compensation to CGH to compensate the system error. Moreover, on the base of the proposed system, a large depth of field and enlarged display area display is realized and the real-time display can be achieved because of the analytical complex-amplitude computed generated hologram. The optical experimental results show that the proposed system has high energy efficiency, and can provide high-quality holographic display with a large depth of field and enlarged display area.
