TL;DR
Poisson distribution
I am learning about noise that follows a Poisson distribution. When I do a Fourier transform of the data with only Poisson noise to get the power spectrum, what is the average value of the power spectrum?

You can find it by using the Fourier energy theorem (often called Plancherel's or Parseval's theorem).
