A simple construction of voltage doubler consists of two diodes acting as rectifiers and two electrolytic capacitors that are put in complements. Each capacitor is charging alternately with respect to their being forward biased. Their total output voltage is almost double (considering the losses both for the caps and diodes) the transformer output voltage. This one is for DC voltage doubler. It is simple though with AC as you will only need a step up transformer ( meaning output voltage is higher than input voltage). Hope this helps

Yup. That's what they're called. There are also other types of multiplier circuits that can generate up to several hundred times the input voltage, without transformers.
Try typing 'voltage multipliers' into any search engine and you should find all kinds of circuits.
