The laser_assembler node publishes to the assembled_cloud topic. You can then subscribe to this topic to gain access to the data in a ROS node. The assembled_cloud message is of the type sensor_msgs/PointCloud. You could use something like:

cloud_sub_ = node_.subscribe<sensor_msgs::PointCloud> ("/assembled_cloud", 100, &MyNode::CloudCallback, this);
