The rise of the Ottoman Empire cut off any European direct connection with East Asia. Therefore, in order to continue trading with East Asia without trading with the Muslims, the Europeans would need to find other routes to East Asia. The search for these routes culminated with the Age of Exploration.
The Ottoman Empire's power in the 15th and 16th centuries significantly influenced European exploration by controlling key trade routes between Europe and Asia, particularly through the Eastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea. As the Ottomans expanded their territory, they monopolized access to valuable spices, silks, and other goods, prompting European nations to seek alternative routes to bypass Ottoman control. This need for new trade pathways fueled the Age of Discovery, leading to explorations by figures like Columbus and Vasco da Gama. Ultimately, the rise of European exploration was, in part, a response to the geopolitical and economic dynamics created by the Ottoman Empire's dominance.

No. The Islamic Golden Age was a period from about 750 to 1258 AD. The Ottoman Empire arose in 1299 AD.
The Ottoman Empire tried to resist European Trade and Culture but were not terribly effective in doing either, especially at resisting European Culture.
Europeans sought to bypass the trade routes of the Ottoman Empire primarily to reduce their dependence on Ottoman-controlled routes and to avoid high tariffs imposed on goods. The desire for direct access to lucrative markets in Asia, particularly for spices and silk, also motivated exploration. Additionally, the rise of nationalism and competition among European powers spurred the quest for new trade routes and territories. This pursuit ultimately led to the Age of Exploration and the establishment of alternative maritime routes.
