How do radar and communications jammers work?

Been in the news a lot lately. I’ve always assumed it just overloads an area with some sort of signal, but I know nothing about this kind of stuff so it’s a wild speculation.

Police radar guns work by basically shooting out a laser beam and reading the color it comes back in. If you’re moving towards the radar gun, the light coming back will be shifted blue (higher frequency/shorter wavelength). The amount it’s shifted depends precisely on how fast you’re going

Radar jammers basically send a bunch of light at many different frequencies to blind the gun so it cant see the reflected beam
