The short answer:  We don't know.

>(without any access to the HQ 1:3 or some kind of {veS QonoS} archive).

"veS QonoS" was the newsletter of Mortas-Te-Kaase, a defunct Klingon fan 
club.  Some new words from Marc Okrand appeared in a 1990 issue; a few of 
these were later used in "Conversational Klingon".  The entire list was 
reprinted by permission of both Okrand and the club in HolQeD 1.3 and 
reprinted again in HolQeD 5.4 as part of a cumulative "Post-TKD" word list.

>  Both are translated as "laser" as far as I can determine

Our only clue is {'uD Haqtaj} "laser scalpel", which also appeared in that 
"veS QonoS" list.

Practically, the difference in no doubt one of scale, size and/or power.
