Creation of caustics requires the use of the bidirectional renderer.

Here's one I prepared earlier: download/file.php?id=625&mode=view

So, in real life, is that Path tracing isn't good for caustics as Cycles Pure pathtracer can't handle it?

Use one small, dominant light source in the scene (e.g. a small meshlight or a sun light).

You can render caustics with an unidirectional pathtracer, but it is going to take much longer than bidir to get noise-free in most scenes.

Yes, PATHCPU/OCL is an unidirectional path tracer while BIDIRCPU is bidirectional.

Well, you can still use PATHCPU, it can be a lot faster than BIDIRCPU if the scene has "simple" light paths.
