Modal Dispersion
Single-mode fibre (small core) supports just a single propagation pathway through the fibre, whereas multi-mode fibre (large core) allows for various different pathways for light to travel along the fibre.

In a multimode fiber this is impossible because even if the input light could all be channelled into a single ray (mode) it would, in a short distance, be scattered into all possible guided rays by bends,
Dispersion Analysis in Single Mode and Multimode Fiber
In multimode fibres and other waveguides, a distortion mechanism known as modal dispersion causes the signal to be spread out in time as a result of the various modes'' varying rates of propagation.
Modal dispersion
Modal dispersion is a distortion mechanism occurring in multimode fibers and other waveguides, in which the signal is spread in time because the propagation velocity of the optical signal is not the
