For an unstable quantum system quantum Zeno effect represents total decay probability decrease while quantum anti-Zeno effect represents total decay probability increase by frequent decay detection under condition that decay probability is the same in all single decay detection. Some authors considered optical, i.e. polarization detection analogy of quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects. We use simplest (Malus law) form of such ideas on the optical, i.e. polarization detection analogy of quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects and we suggest some new situations when decay probability is different in different single decay detection. We consider such situation, called quantum Hamlet effect, when, by frequent detection, final total polarization angle and state converge but total probability for appearance of this state diverges. Also we consider such situation, called quantum anti-Hamlet effect, when, by frequent detection, final total polarization angle and state diverge but total probability for appearance of this state converges. (By simple analogy we define quantum anti-Hamlet effect for unstable quantum system too.) Finally, we consider such situation when, by frequent detection, total probability for propagation of the photon through all analyzers has form of (quasi) exponentially decreasing function.
