We report on experiments with conical refraction of laser beams possessing a high beam propagation parameter M². With beam propagation parameter values M²=3 and M²=5, unusual Lloyd’s distributions with correspondingly three and five dark rings were observed. In order to explain this phenomenon, we extend the dual-cone model of the conical refraction that describes it as a product of interference of two cones that converge and diverge behind the exit facet of the crystal. In the extended model, these converging/diverging cones are represented as the cone-shaped quasi-Gaussian beams possessing the M² parameter of an original beam. In this formalism, a beam-waist of these cone-shaped beams is proportional to the M² value and defines the area of their interference which is a width of the Lloyd’s ring. Therefore, the number of dark rings in the Lloyd distribution is defined by the M² value and can be much greater than unity. The results of the numerical simulations within the extended dual-cone model are in excellent agreement with the experiment.
