The full wave rectifier is a means of converting alternating current (ac) into direct current (dc). It is done with either the use of 2 diodes coming off a center tapped transformer, or by using a bridge rectifier, which conists of 4 diodes ganged together in a certain configuration. As it's name implies, it converts both the positive going and the negative going parts of the sign wave into useable dc, and therefore is more efficient than a half wave rectifier, which only converts 1/2 of the complete sign wave into useable dc.
Since the output of the rectifier is a close approximation of a sawtooth waveform, then all harmonics starting at the second harmonic are present in the full wave bridge rectifier output.
As states half wave will rectify only either positive or negative of a full wave. full wave will rectify positive and negative making it full wave rectification.
Half wave rectifier makes the the sinusoidal wave uni-direction only in one half cycle and leave the other but in full wave rectifier both the cycles are made uni-directional.
The output degrades to half-wave rectification.

There is an article in Wikipedia which gives full details on how rectifiers work - including circuit diagrams. See related link.

The length of a full cycle of a wave is called a "wavelength".

full wave doubler works like a doubler but difference is in doubler you will get only double of your input. in full wave doubler you will get a doubler of your doubler...
