No they are not. The difference is the light. Laser pens will have the red shining light while the infrared pens won't have any visible light. The only way you will be able to tell if it's working (the infrared pen) is you have to test it against either a wiimote or camera lens

What is the difference between a laser pointer and an infrared laser pointer?
An infrared pointer uses light that is mainly in the infrared spectrum, and so is mostly invisible to humans. A laser pointer in general refers to any device using a beam of light to mark an object. Both use the same basic technology. The only difference is the wave length. IR lasers are outside of the visual spectrum where as standard laser pointers are within the visual spectrum.
Which laser type is used in laser printers?

Is it dangerous for a person to use a laser pen indoors?
Some laser pens are not dangerous indoors. A laser pen with five mW will not harm someone and is visible enough to see. But other pens which have one hundred mW are very dangerous and are a hazard.
What is the difference between laser and infrared?
"Laser" is a device that's used to generate very pure electromagnetic radiation,at one single frequency and with all of its photons vibrating in the same directionat the same time.Many different frequencies can be generated by different types of lasers.Infrared radiation is just one of them.
Is diode LASER visible?
LASER diodes operate at either infrared or visible wavelengths, depending on its construction.
What type of laser used in cd and dvd players?
Generally, it's an infrared laser, although some use a visible light laser but those are generally just for playback purposes. The infrared is mainly used for burning disks as well.
How do laser thermometers work?
Laser thermometers are actually just infrared thermometers. The laser is actually just there to make the thermometer easier to aim.
How are engraved outer shells of luxurious fountain pens made?
