A status overview of the development of laser ion sources suited to heavy ion synchrotrons is presented. The results of experimental and theoretical studies, recently obtained at a number of laboratories, for laser-produced highly charged heavy ions are summarized for plasmas heated by long wavelength lasers. Design of a powerful repetition rate CO2 laser, target interaction chamber, and extraction system suited for reliable long term operation mode with real accelerators is discussed. Requirements for the final performance of the laser ion sources for ion beam injectors at the ITEP-Moscow and CERN accelerator facilities are given.
