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.
