What is the difference between a Laser beam and an infrared beam?

[Edit]

Answer

Laser is concentrated light like a reflector only parallell, infrared light is a part of the light spectrum (like blue, red, ultraviolet...).

The comparison in question is similar to comparing apples to oranges as the first is the arrangement of rays (similar to bulb light vs. focused reflector) and the latter is the wawelength (red light vs. blue light).
