In optical fibers, multi-path dispersion occurs in a wide core because light travelling along the axis of the core travels a shorter distance per metre of a fiber than light that repeatedly undergoes total internal reflection. A pulse of light sent along a wide core would become longer that it ought to be. If it was too long, it would merge with the next pulse.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
