Yes there is a difference though some radar detectors come with jammers built in. Jammers sends out noise on the same frequency (or laser wavelength) of the radar or laser gun and causes the gun to malfunction due to the noise. I think there are certain jammers for laser (called LIDAR, I just found out) and for radar. There are also things called diffusers that bends the reflected light around the vehicle rather than reflecting it back to the police gun.
I found some more info on the LIDAR guns too. I heard that detectors for LIDAR (laser detectors) are pretty ineffective considering the fact that the range of LIDAR is not that long. So by the time your LIDAR detector goes off, the cop will already be on your tail. So, I wouldn't recomend buying one of those detectors. Although more and more cops are using LIDAR these days instead of radar, which kind of cancels the benefits of a radar or LIDAR detector.
