Gravitational lensing is one of the most efficient tools for studying the Universe. However, spectral confirmation of such sources necessitates thorough calibration. This paper discusses the spectral extraction technique for the case where multiple source spectra are close to each other. Using the masking technique, we first identify high signal-to-noise (S/N) peaks in the CCD spectral image corresponding to the location of the source spectra. This technique calculates the cumulative signal via a weighted sum, providing a reliable approximation for the total counts contributed by each source spectrum. Subsequently, we proceed with the removal of the contaminating spectra. Through the application of this method, we confirm the nature of 11 candidate lensed quasars.
